For one, there is orange-throated sunangel even though the bill might be too long ...

The rest seems to be metaltail or thornbill

I didn't think so either, but wasn't certain without checking ebird. I'd suggest female Tyrian assuming orange-throated isn't an option. They often appear orangy like this and females of some subspecies are entirely like that (e.g. Santa Marta)
