SusuJae Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I think it's a Costa's hummingbird. I took a similar picture a couple weeks ago and posted it here to get help with the id. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egosnell2002 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm actually thinking Black-chinned on this one. Costa's is similar, but the bill wouldn't be quite as long, and the gorget would be more split into prongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvoryBillHope Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Green forehead, purple flared gorget, decurved bill, long tail. This is a Lucifer Hummingbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLTom Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Thank you, hbvol50 and IvoryBillHope that's what I was told. A very rare bird in the USA, and a lifer. Thanks once again! Edited May 1, 2019 by BLTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egosnell2002 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Oh, of course! Yes definitely Lucifer. It's the one I usually forget exists... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
