leucistic Selasphorus Hummingbird, Hereford, AZ, Cochise County

This leucistic  Hummingbird was photographed by Joe Woodley on 03 September 2012 in his back yard. 

Leucicism is fairly common in hummingbirds and identifying them is a real challenge.  There is enough rufous to indicate this is likely either a Rufous or and Allen's, but definitive identification is not possible.  Rufous of course is most likely.
