Great capture as usual! Hummingbirds are my favorite species... There are actually 365 species in the Americas. I never get tired of watching these little fellas hang around (literally hover!) Take care

Thank you very much, Nelson! They are my favorites as well. The variety of colorful hummingbirds in Central and South Americas is mind-boggling. I am barely scratching the surface after 2 visits to Ecuador. I hope I can go back there at least one more time.

I believe this is a Kentucky warbler, but am hoping one of the warbler experts on here can correct/confirm.
Merlin Bird ID (highly recommended app) has it as a "Common Yellowthroat".

When it comes to warblers and small critters, I just title it "bird" and leave the naming to the viewers' imagination. .
But this may be a Common Yellowthroat female https://ebird.org/species/comyel

Thanks. The reason I ask here is that the Common Yellowthroat is supposed to have that black band right across the top of its beak ( a continuous band from one side to the other) - Sibley points that out explicitly - and this bird doesn't quite have (see new photo), though maybe if I look closely I can convince myself it is there... Hence my confusion. But the Kentucky warbler doesn't seem a perfect match either.
