The little guy was extremely shy and kept flitting away from the camera. I finally got two good shots out of about twenty. Little devil.
I had a heck of a time getting him to flash his beautiful throat in the sun. This is the best I could get.

Definitely a male Black-chinned. The purple border on its neck is a sure ID.

Don't apologize! I would much rather see the full-size photo than a thumbnail or a link.
And, yes, Black-chinned for sure.
