Bueno, en realidad lo confundΓan con un colibrΓ a partir de mi foto (y porque no habΓa puesto aΓΊn "moth" en el tΓtulo de la foto, con lo que al leer Humming bird pues...)

He he, it is a hummingbird hawk-moth
Now I added "hawk moth" to the title because it was a bit confusing...
Thanks for your comment!

In fact it is not a bird: it is a moth... (an insect)
It's name (humming bird) and appearance are a bit confusing...
Anyway thanks, I'm glad you like my pic!

Don't feel so: it is easy to understand your mistake (more people also thought the same as you...)

In spite of the name and the appearance, it is not a bird (it is a kind of moth...)
Anyway, I'm glad you like the photo! ^^
