I agree Black-chinned. Notice the last two shots here with a change in position to the light the purple dissapears and the chin looks all black.

Irony I have been sorting through hundreds of images from the Smoky Bar Store that I took yesterday. There was a Broad-tailed Reported there on Saturday on E bird but no photos. I have not found one in any of mine. Pouring through all about birds etc. and looking at my shots and Rufous and Black-chinned of all ages and sexes are all that I have found so far but I am not a hummer expert.

Have you seen hummingbirds fly-catching? It’s a part of their lifestyle when, at least, feeding high protein foods to their young. I saw rufous catching flying insects on the Lochsa River (think Nez Perce and Lewis/Clark) three years ago near Whitehouse Campground.
