Beautiful pictures! While I am not a hummingbird expert, that little bird does look to be juvenile by the downier appearance of the feathers and how puffy he is.
I love the green pastel rainbows on that next to last shot. And the 😋 at the end.

Thanks so much! I'm convinced that is a juvenile but I wanted to hear what other people said. I posted a similar photo once and an "expert" corrected me. It's interesting how much a bird's feathers can change as it matures... the bald eagle is a very good example of this.
Ooooo now I need to look up pictures of juvenile eagles!
Here's a juvenile bald eagle for you. It was quite far away and this photo is way over-cropped but you can get the idea...
So cool! Like a pinto bean.
