In the second photo where the bird is perched at the feeder, it's demonstrating the long-tailed, upright posture of a Broad-tailed Hummingbird. Cheers,

It has a red eye, white plumage, pinkish bill and whitish feet. Since I have been recently informed that the prob albino hummingbird in the Salida area may have returned on a few days after it was first seen at the end of August, this may be a second prob albino humminbird (Steve Bouricius has shared with me that he has banded a white hummingbird that appeared to have all white plumage but when he had it in hand for banding it showed 'considerable rufous pigment'). Like so many birds, it appears it needs to be in hand to confirm identity. Cool bird though.
