So, for those in the know, is this a hummingbird moth?
I think not. You may Google on Hummingbird Moth and find lots of nice
pictures. See, for instance,

The moth's behavior is one reason for its name. You see a colorful blur
which dances from one blossom to the next, with the speed and grace of a
miniature hummingbird.
