male; iridescent red throat; creamy grey below (Arizona, USA; 2012-04-27)
Broad-tailed Hummingbird Selasphorus platycercus
Native Range:
North America
Notes:
both sexes closely resembles their counterparts in the Ruby-throated Hummingbird but this species resides in the west-central United States rather than in the eastern portion of the continent; best told by the sound of its wings, which make a shrill metallic triilng sound when the bird flies by the listener.
