I have not seen any hummingbirds in US that looks like this one. May want to check your focus also.

No. Not a variety of hummingbird. Purple-rumped Sunbird. I read this is common in Sri Lanka. Did you photograph it there? Would love to go to Sri Lanka someday. Yala is on my list. Have been to India several times and other spots in Asia. When i lived in Singapore I photographed several varieties of sunbirds but Purple-rumped wasn't among them. Not sure they are native to Singapore. Nice shots.

Thanks for commenting. Yes, it is a Purple-rumped Sunbird and photographed in Sri Lanka. Sorry for the wrong title. I think now I can't change the title of the topic. Isn't it ?
Yes, you will not regret by visiting Yala. You can see large number of wild animals including Leopards and elephants.
