Is this an Allen's Hummingbird? I originally thought this was a Rufous but now I'm thinking it's an Allen's.

With no significant green on its back, it's probably a Rufous, but don't feel badly. Many experts admit they often have trouble distinguishing the two.

Thanks. The little bit of green on the crown of his head led me to think it was an Allens.

The gorget with elongated feathers projecting slightly to the sides seems to indicate Allen's.
The two are tough to tell apart. Roufus is described as having a vivid iridescent-red throat.
