I agree with Jackie on the ID of this hummingbird. It is a young male Broad-tailed.

Wonderful captures on all your hummer photos, George! 6.J, the hummer you have labeled as Anna's, is actually a sub-adult male Broad-tailed hummingbird. Note the rufous coloration on the side of the long tail? Anna's do not have rufous in their tails. Lack of crown iridescence and white chin also separates Broad-tailed from Anna's hummingbird. Another species to add to your Arizona trip.
