Similar in size (the yellow guy is several feet closer) and their daily focus, these two avians target flowers and are often seen "working the flora" together. The hummingbird is going after the nectar of course from the front of the flowers. The yellow guy (type to be determined) works the flowers from the back, often showing off acrobatic perching abilities and looks to be going after insects and arachnids (or most anything smaller than him I suppose). Not sure if the hummingbird waits for the flowers to be cleaned but it probably wouldn't be too far fetched to guess as much.
