Calliope Hummingbird (Selasphorus calliope) monotypic Calliopekolibri ~ Zumbador Garganta Rayada ~ Kalliopekolibri 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. |

Calliope Hummingbird (Selasphorus calliope) monotypic Calliopekolibri ~ Zumbador Garganta Rayada ~ Kalliopekolibri 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. |

Calliope Hummingbird (Selasphorus calliope) monotypic Calliopekolibri ~ Zumbador Garganta Rayada ~ Kalliopekolibri 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. |

Calliope Hummingbird (Selasphorus calliope) monotypic Calliopekolibri ~ Zumbador Garganta Rayada ~ Kalliopekolibri 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. |

Calliope Hummingbird (Selasphorus calliope) monotypic Calliopekolibri ~ Zumbador Garganta Rayada ~ Kalliopekolibri 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. |

Calliope Hummingbird (Selasphorus calliope) monotypic Calliopekolibri ~ Zumbador Garganta Rayada ~ Kalliopekolibri 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. |

Calliope Hummingbird (Selasphorus calliope) monotypic Calliopekolibri ~ Zumbador Garganta Rayada ~ Kalliopekolibri 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. |

Calliope Hummingbird (Selasphorus calliope) monotypic Calliopekolibri ~ Zumbador Garganta Rayada ~ Kalliopekolibri 2013-01-06 Volcán Nevado de Colima, Mexico
Likely an adult female with short tail and without black on the central rectrices. Typical hunchbacked posture. |

Calliope Hummingbird (Selasphorus calliope) monotypic Calliopekolibri ~ Zumbador Garganta Rayada ~ Kalliopekolibri 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. |

Calliope Hummingbird (Selasphorus calliope) monotypic Calliopekolibri ~ Zumbador Garganta Rayada ~ Kalliopekolibri 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. |

Calliope Hummingbird (Selasphorus calliope) monotypic Calliopekolibri ~ Zumbador Garganta Rayada ~ Kalliopekolibri 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. |
