The most common is the Allen's Hummingbird, Selasphorus sasin, the Allen's Hummingbird is a small bird, with mature adults reaching only 3 to 3? inches in length. The male Allen's has a green back and forehead, with rust-colored rufous flanks, rump, and tail. The male's throat is also an iridescent orange-red. The female and immature Allen's Hummingbirds are similarly colored, but lack the iridescent throat patch, instead having a series of speckles on their throat. Females are mostly green, featuring rufous colors only on the tail, which also has white tips. The female and immature Allen's Hummingbirds are so similar to the female Rufous Hummingbird that the two are almost indistinguishable in the field. Both species' breeding seasons and ranges are common factors used to differentiate between the two species in a particular geographical area.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hummingbirds for a list of hummingbirds sorted in order of commonality.
