1. I'll tell you the flower (Leonotis), but I tend to walk away from sunbirds that look like this.
2. Not sure what you mean by 'African masked weaver', but it's a village weaver (which goes under various other names too, but not, I think, that one).
Mostly known as vitelline masked weaver. Different upperpart pattern, less black on crown, sensible-sized bill.Ploceus velatus
Possibly Amethyst Sunbird.
I think that Amethyst is only found in the extreme east and north of Uganda, so unlikely to occur in Entebbe. Green throated is within range, but I think is generally associated with decent primary and secondary forest, I only saw it at Kibale.Possibly Amethyst Sunbird.
Any more images of the sunbird Jose? There appears to be some residual red on the chest, perhaps suggesting Mario? Seem to remember them being fairly common in Entebbe. I agree with Butty, Village weaver P. cucullatus
OK more pictures helped! It is a non-breeding red chested sunbird, check out the moulting tail feathers and uniformly dark contrasting tail, limited white under the eye, lack of supercilium and yellowish remiges.
Usually found near water IIRC, was this in the botanical gardens by any chance?OK more pictures helped! It is a non-breeding red chested sunbird, check out the moulting tail feathers and uniformly dark contrasting tail, limited white under the eye, lack of supercilium and yellowish remiges.
