Yes.
Outstanding images! Great job on the identification, too. You probably have other species of Dipogon up there, too, so keep your eyes out for them.

Dipogon
is correct. Unfortunately, there are other species that look very similar to D. sayi, and can't usually be separated based on images alone, but D. sayi is by far the most common one.
