North East Migrating Hummingbird Identification

11 years ago

I live off the river in Delaware and my regular hummers (Ruby Throats) have moved on. I get all sorts of migrating birds and last night a hummer that I can not identify. It was shorter, chubbier and lighter than my Rubies. It was female I am guessing as it did not look like an immature bird. It was much more pale green that was closer to a whitish color but still green, had a yellow crown - not the whole head just a cap. Dark eyebrow. It was not pollen on its as I had the binoculars and was able to close up. Average bill. It was more skittish than my other hummers who come to the feeder aggressively. As soon as I saw it fly into my yard it was apparent it was not a Ruby. Any guesses on migrators?
