Wrong Picture?[edit]

These look like Broad-tailed hummingbirds to me, but I'm not certain, so I'll leave it to someone else to move to article page. <>< tbc 06:15, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

First picture labeled as ruby-throated[edit]

It looks like the picture of the male is incorrect as it is labeled "Ruby Throated" when the article is about Broad-tailed Hummingbirds. I am not an expert, but I would imagine that the picture author would know? Not sure how to ask on this website, though. --Alexis Wilke (talk) 05:08, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing the article, there are 3 images, none of which mentions ruby-throated in the caption. By my references, the 3 images correctly show broad-tailed hummingbirds. --Zefr (talk) 16:36, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Further reading[edit]

Moved from the article to here as redundant and possible archiving. --Zefr (talk) 23:56, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
