I am thinking Gilded Hummingbird based on the tail color. Thanks!

100% sure the two tails belong to the same bird. The bill "should"

Also agree - Gilded Hummingbird. Fortunately not a ton of options in the city so you can work with less that stellar photos

It's also a province 500+ km across.

I did take it on faith that the reference was to the city, but even if not, the number of realistically possible hummingbirds remains the same - three - with the only change being that in some parts of Provincia de Buenos Aires, White-throated Hummingbird is locally common whereas it is never common in Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires.
