Hummingbird in really poor light - all shade - no Red

The same bird I posted before, but he moved his head out of the direct light so the feathers look black. Two versions, straight photo and as an oil painting.
80D, 100-400L mk2 @ 400, 1/1000 @ f/8.0, ISO 5000 hand held in shadow near sundown.
Oh, too much of the heavy wire he was perched on in direct light to bother changing so I just cloned it off as if it were cut.
They all look better in download. In fact in the thumbnail they are pretty awful.

Nice. Interesting how the Reds and Magentas are now showing. This illustrates the weirdness of iridescence. At this time of year February, an Anna's Hummingbird?

Would seem to be an Anna's. Here in the IE we have them all year round. Though I have read that some of them go up into the mountains in summer.

Yes, I'm pretty sure I've seen Anna's in the San Gabriel Mountains (in warmer weather). At various times of year we have many species of visiting and migratory hummers in California. I'm thinking the Allen's are common the larger noisier ones.
