No need to apologize. That is what OBOL and our birding community is all about.
We learn and grow from each other. Question more, not less. The rest of us
might learn as well.

Subject: [obol] Re: Is this an Anna's Hummingbird?
Hi Evan and all,
On the small camera screen where I originally viewed these, the most of the
photos were too small to display visible flank coloration. Now that they're
bigger, it seems clear that this has the mottled grayish green flanks of an
Anna's Hummingbird. The structure always did look better for one.
Sorry if I created any confusion. That one photo must be from an odd angle.
Good birding,
Caleb Centanni,

Hi all,
I took these photos of a hummingbird near a feeder in Independence, OR on
December 16, 2016. I initially concluded that this was a juvenile Anna's
Hummingbird, but my brother pointed out that its flanks are awfully buffy,
almost a light rufous. Is that within the range of Anna's plumage? The tail
projection seems a little on the short side too.

Thanks!
