 Ruby-throated vs. Black-chinned Hummingbird Identification
Below is a photographic analysis of a bird initially thought to be a "female-type" (female or immature male) Black-chinned Hummingbird, Archilochus alexandri, illustrating some of the challenges of separating this species from the very similar plumages of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Archilochus colubris.
In the author's opinion the bird is clearly the latter species, which is by far the more common in eastern Kansas, where the bird was observed.
Sheri Williamson, author of Hummingbirds of North America (Peterson Field Guides, 2002), was kind enough to offer additional analysis of the tail, helpful in determining the bird's sex and age: Note the rounded tip to the outermost rectrix (R5), the broad white tip on R3, and the narrow white tip on R2.
