Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Archilochus colubris
Ruby-throated Hummingbird adult males have metallic green upperparts and pale grayish-white underparts, with green along the flanks and a compact, slender-winged appearance. The back and crown are iridescent, while the narrow flight feathers are dusky and the dark tail is distinctly forked. The defining ruby-red throat feathers can appear nearly black when their iridescent surfaces are not reflecting light toward the observer.
