Rufous hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus)

Based on another image of the tail, I am calling this a rufous hummingbird. Females of rufous and Allen's are almost impossible to tell apart, except for the shape of their outer tail feathers. Anyway, this is a beautiful little gem that happened to pass through my front yard.
