Can someone help me identify this hummer ? Seen at San Gerardo de Dota, in Central Valley Costa Rica at 2300m.
Thanks for your help.

Sorry for delay. It looks like a young male Magnificent Hummingbird which we saw a few of in this area.

(Just to note this is more commonly called Talamanca hummingbird now. Many taxonomic authorities have divided northern populations of "magnificent" hummingbird off into Tivoli's Hummer, leaving Talamanca for the southern ones.)
