Mystery Bird no.1 (Zimbabwe)

This photo was taken by John Struthers approximately 13 years ago in the south of Zimbabwe. His opinion is that it is a Scarlet-chested Sunbird. A second photo show a few traces of red on some of the feathers. As far as we know this is the only record of a yellow form of the Scarlet-chested Sunbird.
