Hummingbird, Other Species Sighted

Number: 1

I have had about 6 ruby throat hummingbirds wintering at my house. One is a juvenile male; I can see the red starting on the throat. They were getting along fairly well; I had 4 feeders available for them and a few flowers. I heard a lot of commotion outside, so went to observe. There are 2 new birds. Very aggresive toward the birds that had been here. Also, rufous colored. One completely, and one with green on the back but rufous tail feathers. From searching hummingbirds, one looks most like a Rufous juvenile male. Is this possible? They do not belong in my area.
