Anna's Hummingbird

Calypte anna

Anna's Hummingbird, described here as an adult male, has metallic green upperparts and pale gray underparts, with green along the sides and flanks. The back and wing coverts gleam green, while the long, narrow flight feathers are dusky and the dark, greenish tail is slightly forked. Its defining feature is an iridescent rose-red crown and throat, whose feathers can appear dark depending on lighting and viewing angle.
