Sunbird

Sunbirds seem to be infrequent visitors to our garden, but maybe that is because they tend to move fast between food sources without lingering too long - so we just don't notice them.

If anyone knows i would happy to have a confirmed ID. Unfortunately my camera was set up for BIF because i was hoping to capture the flock of ring necked parakeets that sometimes fly past in the morning, so the shutter speed was somewhat high:
