Is this a hummingbird???

First time this has happened at the feeder. I thought it was a grosbeak, but it isn't.
This guy showed up today also. His is twice the size of the other hummingbirds, and I have never seen one this color.

Not a hummer, they are tiny compared to this one. Don't know what bird it is.

It's an oriole. We have a family of them that spends a lot of time draining the hummingbird feeder. I think yours is the Northern Oriole and mine is the Hooded variety. BTW Nice shots.

Thanks everyone. I've never had anything but hummingbirds on my feeders before. This one brought his family.

I believe that is a Bullock's Oriole...but the last photo must be a Hummingbird of some kind...wow that is so cool!! Could that last photo be a Rufous Hummingbird?

I hadn't thought of that Linda. I wonder if that is what it is. I wish I could have gotten a better picture but he was in and out so fast. I do have one more that I will post.

I've been looking on internet since you posted the photo. I can't find anything that is even remotely close :( :thumbdown:

This is the other shot I have of him. I have my good lens on, window washed, and laying in wait for his return. I have looked in all of my bird books and am at a loss as to what he is.
sorry for the poor shot, but this is all I have

He looks like a Rufous but the wings aren't green. I hope I see him again
