That's a male Rufous Hummingbird. They're smaller and more aggressive than their larger Ruby Throated cousins with which they share the same range/territories.
Here is one sitting outside of my window a few years ago.

Totally. I kept seeing this guy get into spats with a Ruby Throated guy. Arguing over territory. I really wanted to get a pic with both but hummingbirds are such challenging subjects. I managed a couple of shots but nothing in focus. Edit: added example

Oh, that's neat. The one the female Rufous is fighting is a male Anna's Hummingbird.
See how the edges of the red are pointy on the one facing th cam? They're so similar to Ruby Throats. I only learned about Anna's after moving to the PNW.

That's super interesting. I have to look out for that in the future. The interest on this post makes me want to go out and get more hummingbird shots

I've been fascinated by them since I was a little kid.
