Comment number:   1
By:   Malcolm Robinson
Comment:   Unfortunately, the frond covers the chest. The belly appears to be blackish and not shiny metallic green as on the head and throat. Tail short. Also, far out of range for Malachite. I would guess Marico Sunbird (Cinnyris mariquensis) from what can be seen
