I would go with female Ruby in your location.

Look here:

http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ruby-throated_Hummingbird/id

I use this site a lot. One very nice feature is if you scroll down they have similar birds and you can click and got the that birds site and then with back button return to where you started.

It does kind of look like a female Anna's (we have them where I live) but they are a West Coast bird, closest to you are some ??? sightings in north central Mexico. So unless you can contact a local bird watchers group in Houston to help I would go with the female Ruby.

This was posted on both threads.

PS: how has the city done in recovering from Harvey - both my oldest son and daughter got deployed there for a week by Team Rubicon. He arrived the day after and teamed with a Corps of Engineers Colonel* & mapped and planed the efforts for Team Rubicon, she came a week later and worked with a crew that spent most of a week working on a retirement home/community.

*he is Army Reserve Civil Affairs now as well as Team Rubicon and former Combat Engineer for 6 years, 2-3 of them at Ft Bragg attached to Special Forces.
