Possible Hybrid hummingbird
The feeders around my house near Iron Mountain in Poway have gotten busy again with a variety of hummingbirds. One that looks a little unusual to me looks like a Juvenile Costa's with the coloration of an allens in its back and wing feathers. Do these species hybridize?
It sounds exactly like a Costa's so it's probably just a Costa's. But if someone more knowledgeable could look at the photos of it and let me know if you think it might be a hyrbrid I would be grateful.
