Everywhere it is said that males have the feathers that can appear red, and females do not. Similarly, everywhere it is said that females build the nest, rather than males. It so happens I am stewarding a community art project involving a ruby-throated hummingbird building a nest. And it so happens that as my "model," I used the bird in this youtube video linked below.
"She" has red feathers at her throat. Anyone care to comment?
