Can anyone identify this humming bird?
I wish they were sharper images.

It will only let me post this one, I have tried to add a new attachment, tried a whole new post, and logged off and back on, and this is all I can post

I can't find any Hummingbirds with striped under wing feathers, this bird just doesn't look right, looks awfully large for a hummingbird, I did run across this woodpecker at a feeder in Arizona, I leave it to someone more
aware of Southwestern birds

Yeah, I was being a smart ass, the other 2 shots I can't load, show that it is a downey. My humor failed.

I think that is a Gila Woodpecker.

No I think it was very funny.... I was about to say it was a jumbo forked tailed hummer!

Thanks Frodo, I'll try attaching the 2 that wouldn't take yesterday.
It worked for one, but the second one is not posting

I just tried again, but I guess UHH has cut me off, and only allowing me to post one photo a day.

After posting the first attempt 3 or 4 days ago, It finally let me post the last pic!
