Rufous Humingbird
A viewer states, and audubon.org confirms, that the female or immature specimens of the rufous hummingbird and the Allen's hummingbird are indistinguishable in the field. The feeder is now in direct sunlight which provides additional detail. The bird was shot from a distance of three feet through a window. Do we have an expert out there who can distinguish between the two species? Based on geographic distribution of the two species, the rufous is more likely to appear in central Texas.
