Didn’t even know such a thing existed. At first I thought it was a baby hummingbird until I got closer and saw the fur and antennae.

Is this an example or convergent evolution or mimicry? Or something else I’m not aware of?
Yes (convergent part), but I would say that it’s more like the bird(s) one is converging to take the classic infect job
