Grand Master Know It All
It's not normal but bill injuries are somewhat common in hummingbirds. This bird's lower mandible is offset and curved upward, preventing the tongue from correctly laying in the channel. It's probably due to a collision, possibly with a window or screen.
Mrs. BG is probably right about it being a Broad-tailed, and it appears to be a juvenile female. Another photo might provide more information. Rufous and Calliope hummingbirds are migrating through now, too.
