Last month I took some photos of two visiting hummingbirds.  Last night
I reviewed them, and while one of the birds is definitely a
ruby-throated female, the other one has a wash of rust along its flank.
Here is a pic:

I suspect it is a ruby throated, but would like to make sure.  This
particular bird was very pugnacious.  Perhaps a juvenile male?
