I think Bronze. The underparts are not barred or dark enough for Scarlet-chested. Pale throat and barring below rules out Amethyst. Supercilium is also more like that of Bronze. Females/immatures can be tricky when seen in isolation.

Hi all,

This sunbird is causing some controversy between a friend and I.

Bronze or Scarlet-chested is our debate (or Amethyst, perhaps?), and WHY???

All comments welcome ASAP!

Many thanks,
Adam
