George Angehr sent me photos of a a specimen of Glow-throated Hummingbird (Selasphorus ardens) from the American Museum of Natural History. The Glow-throated Hummingbird is on the right; on the left is a Scintillant Hummingbird (Selasphorus scintilla). This updates my earlier post of the plumages of the southern species of Selasphorus. I can see how folks might confuse a Glow-throated Hummingbird with a Volcano Hummingbird. Check out the earlier post for all the details.
