Not White-bellied Sunbird but Amethyst Sunbird (1 Viewer)

Saw the male today with the female i saw on Fri 20 march. i thought it was a white-bellied but the male is def an Amethyst. at 1st he looked completely black in the shade, then he dropped his head and the metalic green cap and purple throat was clearly visible. He turned around and flashed his purple upper tail at me.

Now i have to change my no. 41
41. Amethyst Sunbird

I also noticed that i listed Cape White-eye twice. I will substitute no 22 with Turtle Dove which i noticed i haven't listed!
22. Cape Turtle-Dove
