Not far from the entrance to the park, we came across this purple sunbird, a typical male in eclipse plumage (non-mating season plumage): a dark breast stripe like a European Great tit (Parus major) - but shining in blue as a remnant of the mating season plumage - plus a brown head and a typical sunbird beak. The characteristics that are not visible in the picture are the beautiful blue tail and the blue wing spots that vary in size. The bird is hanging alarmingly askew, but if you look closely you will see that it has discovered interesting larvae in the rolled up leaf.
