Hi - would like some help with this one; I'm all at sea with female/juvenile hummingbirds! I didn't see a male nearby either.

This was at Grand Canyon Village, so close to the main tourist bit, if that helps at all...

I will probably bother everyone with some more pics over the next week or two as I saw a load of sparrow lookalikes with which I have no idea!

Cheers in advance!

The grayish crown, white throat, long thin bill, and lack of rufous indicate Black-chinned Hummingbird.

The buffy flanks, visible in the second photo, argue against Black-chinned for me. I would suggest Broad-tailed Hummingbird.
