Their bib as it is called is streaked with red instead of solid like the other birds. We don't know if we have any females because they would have a plain throat and the only way we'd know them is they'd be smaller.

Calliope Hummingbird
Most of our hummingbirds are Broadtail, and in July we have some of the bright orange Rufous, but we are honored to also enjoy brief appearances by the Calliope. They are smaller than the other birds by 1/3.
