Need IDs on Birds at OlPejeta Conservancy,Kenya (1 Viewer)

I photographed these birds on the grounds of the Sweetwaters Tented Camp in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Sept, 2019 . The one sunbird is the same bird in both photos. The Starling is a Blue-eared Starling perhaps--but Lesser or Greater I don't know. Any ID help would be appreciated.

Looks good for Marico Sunbird - thick and strongly curved bill. Also, I don't think Ol Pejeta is in range for Purple-banded (although I haven't been to Kenya).
