Continuing selasphorus, now considered to be rufous. According to Scott Weidensaul "The bird is missing the tip of R2 on the right side, and the R2 on the left isn’t sharp when you really zoom in, but I think I see the suggestion of a notch, which would be diagnostic for a RUHU." He also stated that the R5 is not as pin like as would be seen in an Allen's. Though not reliable, audio also seems to indicate rufous. Additionally the amount of white on the tail tips and the amount of rufous on the rump look good for RUHU. Alongside this, there is a precedent for late hummingbirds in the New England being rufous, with multiple records from around the region. May be worth getting more tail photos (or if the bird dies, getting it examined) just incase.
