Camera Critters and a hummer

This is rather an odd colored hummingbird for around here. Never seen one with just a "beard" (for lack of a better word) of red on it's throat like this.

I have decided to post this also for Camera Critters as this was going to be my post for today on this blog any how. I thought his odd coloring of him was worth posting, and perhaps someone may know what kind of hummingbird this is. I live in northern Ca. in the mountains.
