Can anybody tell me if this is a rufous? I'm not familiar with CA hummers.

    Can't help with the ID but at 1/25 you must have used hypnosis :)

    Very nice shot Dave.

    Looks like a female rufous, but they are almost identical looking to the female Allen's.

    Part of their ranges overlap in California so depending on the time of year and location of the shot you might be able to narrow it down (or maybe not).

    Great shot!. thumb.gif

    Nice capture but just a tad too centered for me.
