Flagged as rare; continuing for some time at feeders of Debbie Beer. For anyone chasing, please review rules first; in short park on street, stay off grass/yard itself, wear a mask at all times, be respectful of neighbors and neighborhood. Chunky, small and prominently orange-toned hummingbird. Largely separable from other Selasphorus hummingbirds by structure, smaller and shorter-tailed than BTHU with overall more and brighter orange-buff tones. Larger than CAHU and not nearly so short-tailed or short-billed. Essentially identical to RUHU and not separable from view we got, but separated previously and identified confidently through banding. Will upload photos
