Notes:   Two individuals were seen, I believe this one to be a juvenile. The adult was a brilliant shiny emerald green on top. It still had a yellow throat, which eliminated Emerald Cuckoo and Variable Sunbird. The size was approximately sunbird size, maybe a bit larger. Juvenile was begging for food.
