Unusual TUMOR-LIKE growth.

-This little girl came here on the 16th (she isn't one of our regulars, our regulars had been gone about 2 wks).

She came with an irregular round growth on her throat. She also has a scaly growth on the top of her beak, lighter in color then her beak’s normal color. She appeared sick yesterday as she sat more often hanging her head down. I didn’t see her up close but she is still here today and she was sitting up straight. Thoughts on what type of growth hummingbirds have? (This pic was taken yesterday.)
