I believe this to be a juvenile RTHU, but something just doesn't look exactly right.

Taken yesterday in South Central Kansas

That thing looks huge! Although she doesn't have too much of a buffy wash on her sides, I do agree that she is a Ruby-throated Hummingbird. The throat, shoulders, and tail look good to me.
Lifelist: 223
Latest lifer: American Pipit
