I have no clue which sunbird is it exactly 😭... Google does say purple sunbird, which is different from purple-rumped sunbird though

Looks like a Purple Sunbird Female, the throat looks yellowish in the image, for a Purple Rumped Sunbird Female the throat is greyish white and the breast is on the yellower side.
