Observation details

Continuing bird at this location. Mt photos may show R2 and not cutout. I am uncertain of this. A Rufous-like hummer with green back and long slim appearance. Previously well documented by homeowner. Excellent photos by homeowner posted on checklist. https://ebird.org/checklist/S283044278 . Photos of homeowner scrutinizing by Kelly Bryan, hummingbird bander with 30 plus years experience. Only my photos here taken during this checklist. Kelly made these comments on the homeowner’s photos: IMO, Allen’s Hummingbird juvenile male. Narrowness of R5 and apparent R2 un-notched feature would suggest Allen’s. Green back also supports Allen’s if body molt has been competed, which is usually first.
