I think he is impersonating a humming bird.
I saw him and didn't really have time to adjust my camera. Luckily I was looking for a hummingbird and had the ISO on 800.
Olympus E520 at ISO 800, with 300-mm lens, 1/400-sec at f/11.
Great shot, didn't know they went after nectar....
The yellow seems to be doing a good job.

Neat shots. I never saw Yellow-rumps do that!
Maybe looking for ants or other insects? Not much nectar in banana flowers.
