Scott and Caleb, I believe this is juv female Black-chinned. Completely green 
central tail feathers rules out Calliope, which should have blackish tips.  
Crown is grayish (Ruby-throat would be greener). It looks like it is pumping 
its tail up and down, a behavioral trait of Black-chinned but not 
Ruby-throated). Bill is short due to young age. Broad-tailed would have more 
buff on flanks and rufous base of outer rectrices (tail feathers).
