Agree with female sunbird, but that's as far as I go without a field guide.

#3 looks good for female Olive-backed Sunbird. Agree with the other two ID's.

Having now had a chance to look properly - white in the tail and general jizz would go with Olive-backed as well

It is not an Olive-backed Sunbird. Even with this blurry shot, the bill is wrong, the colour is wrong and the pale eye ring is wrong for Olive-backed Sunbird. With those features, it is a female Brown-throated Sunbird.

I agree with Brown-throated. Olive-backed's feet should be black.
