Immature Male Ruby-throated!
Much heavier, more pronounced speckling on the gorget is distinctive in 1st year males. In your third photo note the presence of a red platelet, his gorget will complete its transformation over the next several months. Also the bill is somewhat shorter than a females, takes some some time and many comparisons with both sexes to be aware of this difference.
