Re: Hummingbird identification help

Ok, one more response. Think your hummingbird may, indeed, be female, as you noted, & a Black-chinned. Couldn’t get a photo, & the eye patch wasn’t as black as on yours. However, this evening I had a definite female BC arrive at the feeder with quite dark, not fully black & not as triangular, patches around both eyes. Perhaps, yours had a melanistic trait causing the increased markings around the eyes. 
 
In any case, it’s been interesting researching possibilities for your bird. Glad you posted. Have enjoyed pondering the possibilities!
