Hi, Icvuer. I didn't mean to insult you the other day on another thread. Sorry about that. I took your headline to mean Tanzania + Zanzibar, not Zanzibar in Tanzania, hence my request for more detail about location. And I sometimes feel that if someone asks a lot of questions, then they should join in by giving their own guess for the birds in the question. Or maybe I'm just becoming a grumpy old man.

I think all the later photos are Mouse-coloured Sunbird (maybe young or female birds). I wonder if the first photo might be Amethyst Sunbird male juvenile changing to adult.

Anyway, even if wrong, my answer will put your question back to the top where someone more informed may see it.
