Looks like an Anna's Hummingbird. In the second photo you can see the dark gorget, and the bird has a green back and looks like it has a dirty gray breast (but not white). Add to that the fact that in Northern California Anna's is far and away the most common hummingbird. They are cool birds. I've seen a lot of them doing their mating flights recently, which are spectacular to watch.
