I saw a hummer I could not ID from images on the web

bumble bee size 1 inch to 1.25 inch crown to tail tip

2/3 to 3/4 inch wide

1/2 inch beak

yellow throat (grot... sp.?)only accent color

light brown eyes to mid body where not yellow

dark brown mid body to tail tip

wings dark brown like tail

It was like it was wearing a shirt with dark sleeves and pants

I am in the upper peninsula of michigan near WI border

it is aug 13 2011

I tried to get a pic but is so small it looks like a dark dot in the purple flowers

no it was actually a hummingbird, not an insect even if it was bumble bee size

I was able to watch it for several minutes from less than 3 feet away.

Usually we have ruby throats sometimes we have irridescent green throats this is first ever that is sooooo small and soooo plain colored.

Thanks for help everyone.
