Observation details

It was feeding at the verbena garden near the hummer feeders. Medium-sized hummingbird: the body was iridescent blue-green, with a coppery tail. The bill was an obvious bright coral red with a dusky tip. The chin was bright rufous, but I could only see that when it was facing directly at me. Photographed.
