A barely subadult male Annas, taken 08Feb2015.

Kenn Kaufman, many years ago, stated that (for instance) a black Red-tailed
Hawk should not be called
a black-phase bird.  It isn't going through a phase, it's always black.  It
should be called a black morph.

With that in mind, this bird might(?) be called a calliope-phase Anna's
Hummingbird.  Or not.....
