Thnx Marris. this is a migratory bird and very shy too. I had one glimpse of it,but it sat with it's back towards me. In reality it is very lovely bird with an orange gorget. here are some images from the web. https://www.google.com/search?q=rufous+hummingbird&client=firefox-a&hs=yTy&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=np&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=Qe8wU_LyEYWJogS2uIKIDg&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=575#imgdii=_
