Location helps ID them, very few Calliopes on the West side of the mountains, Annas and Rufous are plentiful.

Anna's hummingbird

Often difficult to ascertain juveniles from adult females.

Not even close.

I probably would have called it a Black Chinned.  Now I need to go look and see if there is such a thing or just something I called them for the heck of it growing up.   To me, rufous were orangish and Calliopes were smaller with ping elongated neck feathers.

That would be my guess, see my previous post.
