Thanks Lorell. I'm not seeing a chicken truck photo - where did you post it? Nice, appropriate treatment on your photo of the WWII plane.
Don, that was a pretty long ride. (You reminded my of a time when a frat brother drove me from Wisconsin to my home in Cincinnati, on the back of his powerful motorcycle. I hadn't thought of that fun experience in years.) To answer your question, the most common HB species here is the Anna's, but the one in my photo has much more orange/rust color than Anna's do - it's more like a Rufous. The Rufous Hummingbird used to be here only when stopping by during migration, but in recent years an increasing number have taken to staying here all year. So I'm pretty sure my photo is of a male Rufous hummer.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
