A beauty... I really had trouble getting this guy in the Yucatán in the wild.
Does he come to feeders? 
In any case, as I said, a beauty !

Thanks for comment Ugolino.
This is a very common species in Guanacaste province and also in Westin Resort gardens, feeding on various flowers and very territorial, returning to the same perching place. This one was right in front of my room terrace.
Unfortunately there were not feeders in the resort.

Click on this image to see such wonderful detail, the varied tones in the BG work very well with this hummers plumage.

Stunning. One of my favorite species! Excellent detail and the green background really compliments this little jewel.
