"WAIT WHAT"
Let me explain guys. Types don't necessarily reflect the species of a Pokemon but more of their habits or habitats than their species. Sandshrew is certainly not made of dirt! But Sandshrew live in it and dig in it, therefor that is their type.
Let's take a look at Trapinch who is based off a bug... but isn't a bug type. Trapinch is pure ground and evolves into a Dragon type. Why is this? Take a look at this interesting read:

Back to Hummingbirds... They have a lot in common with flying insects. The way they flap their wing and fly backwards, and the fact that various species even evolved to look like bumble bees! this is only a suggestion but maybe the Hummingbird could be a Bug type because of its bug-like behavior.
Then again, Hummingbirds live their lives by the flower, so it could go either way.
I understand what you are saying but if you are going to make a humming bird, you should make it a bird. A flying/bug type could be shown through a number of interesting irl insects and what not, so making it a humming bird seems like not only a waste at something that could have been original and interesting, but a bit of a stretch.
