Only Shot Of Her From The Front

This was the only shot I got of her from the front. As far as I know, she never noticed me, after about 5 minutes she flew up and out of sight. It was quite an experience. She never perched but was in flight the whole time. Expert final answer was that it still could not be determined which species it was and that with female juveniles, almost impossible to tell the two apart. We have both species here.
Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) or Black-chinned Hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri)
