Ruby-topaz Hummingbird (Chrysolampis mosquitus)

This is a Ruby-topaz Hummingbird (Chrysolampis mosquitus) from Tobago.

On a feeder you can often see this species as one of the more aggressive ones chasing away others from the feeder even though there is plenty of space for all.

The photo is from The Adventure farm quite close to Plymouth on the road to Arnos Vale.
