female sunbird spp
Originally identified as Southern Double-collared Sunbird but some opinions that it is a Malachite Sunbird. Any takers in a correct ID?

Absolutely no doubt that this is a female Malachite Sunbird - the olive undertones and size of beak immediately rule out Southern DC Sunbird.
Kind regards Trevor
