I thought that's what it was, but there seemed to be an identification 
already in place.

I had one around my deck for several days a few years ago. Not much 
smaller than a hummingbird and with very similar feeding habits.

I wonder if I got a decent pic.... When will I ever get around to 
organizing my photos? :-)
