    Ah, hummers can drive you nuts ( IDing them). I think it is a broad-billed female.

    I love the hummers out west, Arizona is like "Hummer Central" to me.

    I am going with either Anna's or Costa's due to the white tip in the tale feathers.

    Costa's hummingbird is what I first thought.
