Good thinking Hank, but this is a female Anna’s which also has a little bit of white on the edges of their broad tail. Could be a juvenile Annas too. They nest super early!

 066 by henry wall, on Flickr The white tips are clearer here and this is supposed to be the discerning difference between the Anna`s and the Black-chinned Hummingbirds. |

Hi Hank.
Both Anna’s and Black-chinned have white on the sides of their tails. This looks like a young Anna’s. A Black-chinned would have a distinctly longer, slightly curved bill and have a more clean, less splotchy appearance.
Good work getting pics of this bird. 😁
