Agree with Yellow-fronted, as yellow extends onto lores and above bill, although the viewing angle is not particularly helpful

Agree with arcadillor - yellow forecrown and moustachial, and blue ear-coverts just visible in one image. Not sure why the throat doesn't look bluer.

On pictures (1) and (5), one can actually see the "yellow front" that gives the bird it's name.
(See attached image for comparison.)

My bad: for some reason I didn't see the blue on the first photo when I looked quickly. That one makes it clear what it is!
