2011-12-19 Carretera San Antonio (col), Mexico Female type. Small and compact. Short bill and looks like the wings are longer than the tip of the tail. |

2012-10-14 Rancho de Adrián (jal), Mexico Female type. Greenish with only little orange on the flank, short bill and short tail without any rufous orange at the base are good indications of this species. |

2012-11-24 Cerro Guzmán (jal), Mexico Female type, but perhaps young male because of the strong orange color to the under tail. Short bill and tail and blackish tips to uppertail indications of this species. |

2012-11-24 Cerro Guzmán (jal), Mexico Female type. Mostly id'ed because of the long wings reaching beyond the tail tip. Unique for this species among the similar ones. |

2012-11-24 Cerro Guzmán (jal), Mexico Female type. The angle might cheat but both the bill and the tail looks short favoring this species over, especially, Broad-tailed Hummingbird. |

2012-11-24 Cerro Guzmán (jal), Mexico Female type. Perhaps not this species! Perhaps rather a Broad-tailed Hummingbird since both the bill looks long, and there is no blackish on the upper distal part of the central tail feathers. But the wings seem long, which does not fit that species, and there is no indication of orange at the basis of the tail, why I assume that the photo is cheating, and that it indeed shows the selected species. |

2013-01-06 Volcán Nevado de Colima, Mexico Female type. A difficult angle to judge from. But it, again, looks like both the bill and the tail are very short, why I lean toward this species rather than Broad-tailed. But I'm open to skepticism. |

2015-09-18 Sierra Álica (nay), Mexico Female type. Again, a short tail and bill. In the flight it looks like the tail has the black tips that is good for the females of the species. The long evenly broad wings are also good for the species. Perhaps the tail looks too graduated but I guess it's caused by a still growing outer tail. |

2017-12-28 Volcán Nevado de Colima, Mexico Female type. Had hoped it was a Bumblebee Hummingbird, but the long wings extending passed the tip of the tail, and the lack of rufous in the tail hinders this. |

2018-02-10 Carretera Pánuco (sin), Mexico Female type. The short tail without rufous, but with hinted black at the tips of the central rectrices are good indicators of this species, rather than Bumblebee H. |
