Rubythroat with white "scalp"



Friday we had a female rubythroated hummingbird feeding of bog salvia 
(Salvia uliginosa) in our garden.  I was struck by the fact that the entire 
top of its head was a cloudy-white color.

I don't think that it was the spot of white on the forehead.  Does my 
observation match what was noted as the result of feeding from sapsucker 
drill holes?
