Rufous or Allen's Hummingbird, female feeding

UC Santa Cruz Arboretum

Because all the males in the bushes where this bird was feeding were Allen's, this female is more likely to be Allen's. But Rufous were still migrating through, and that species can't be excluded on the basis of appearance. This might be the same bird as shown at http://www.pbase.com/tgrey/image/95277806 , in which case it is definitely an Allen's.
