I sent this picture to several people then got a very annoying email from the person that brought this up on birdchat. Apparently he just found or had this picture and has no idea where it was taken, thus my claim that this hummer is in Mass, like was inferred from the posting was false. This hummer is apparently not in Massachussetts. I either a) misinterpreted what he said or b) he should have been more specific.
Sorry for the bother, though I hope the lot of you who got the picture enjoyed looking at a poorly focused photograph of a mystery hummer!

For all you ABA listers out there, there is a very unusual hummer in Massachussetts at the moment. I haven't checked my books at home after viewing the picture this morning, but I can't think of anything that shows up with any regularity in the US that matches it (and i've seen most of the species that somewhat regularily occur in the US either in AZ or CO with the exception of Lucifer's, Allen's and Berylline). If anyone is interested in viewing the picture, send me an email and i'll forward it along. Its a pretty small sized picture. I have sent out an email to one of the United States foremost hummingbird experts Sherri Williamson, so we'll see what she thinks it is. I know this isn't related to MN birding, but I thought it was interesting nontheless. Chris Fagyal Senior Software Engineer United Defense, L.P.
