A stunning closeup of this little jewel but I don't think it is a Ruby-throat.
 
Thanks for the comments. While I can't be sure of the Ruby Throat class, when the bird's head turns, the red goes from near invisible to this flash of bright red. It certainly stands out from the other hummers I photographed there and other neighboring sites.

I think this is an Anna's Hummingbird. It's the only hummer with a red crown and red throat.
