Agree with 1 & 2.

3 could be a flowerpecker, maybe Pale-billed, but it's a difficult image.

4 is a female sunbird, maybe Purple?

I think you're right with 5.
 
looks good, but thinking maybe Purple-rumped for the sunbird

I've just had a closer look, and I think you're right - it has the dark mark through the eye, which looks red. What looked like a super is the light brow and a bit of light effect. That certainly explains the compact shape of the bird, not right for Purple.
