I could not match this bird to any photos/illustrations but I will describe it here: The gorget is washed with rofous color and has rows of dark dots originating from base of the bill. A few iridescent feathers centered at the bottom of the gorget often flashed gold. A white bib crossed the upper breast. The rump and the uppertail coverts are solid rufous while the undertail coverts are white. Other rofous areas (the flanks, belly, nape and auricular) are blotchy on white. It's forehead, back and scapulars are green. The primary flight feathers and tail feathers are dark. The hummer returned today (11/19) to enjoy a fresh supply of nectar. I managed get enough video to edit to 10 minutes of my best shots.
