Observation details

Per Sheri Williamson: 'possible Calliope hybrid based on "short wing and tail, and broad blunt tips of P6-8". Also: "a mix of characteristics strongly suggestive of Calliope x Rufous: Calliope-like broad, curved outer primaries and slightly notched tail; Rufous-like gorget and cheek color/pattern and relatively narrow-looking R5; anomalously broad inner primaries; and intermediate loral pattern and tail length. I would expect a Calliope x Broad-tailed to have a longer tail, broader, more rounded R5, more contrasting loral pattern with a broad dark gray crescent separated from the eye by a narrow whitish crescent, and a drabber, finer gorget/cheek pattern. The primary shapes are definitive for Calliope involvement, but it's hard to confirm Rufous as the best candidate for the other parent species without seeing more of the tail. If Calliope x Selasphorus sp. were an option, that would be a reasonable compromise..."
