Female Hummingbird

Thanks, everyone! Alandra, here in the East we only get rubythroat hummingbirds, possibly because they're so territorial and belligerent that other varieties are scared off. Most years, we have a lot of aerial dogfights, mostly among the males chasing each other away from the feeders, but this year there is apparently only one male and maybe two females around, and they all seem to get along fairly well.

great image of the hummer. Which type do you get there? She looks a bit different to the type we get here (Rufous)
