I wonder if anyone would like to comment on the putative female Mrs Gould's Sunbird in these photos. Firstly, do people agree it Mrs Gould's? Secondly, is it female or possibly a juv male?
Personally, I'm not sure of the ID features of female/juv sunbirds and there seems to be some uncertainty among the people I've spoken to about these photos.
Any input would be most welcome.

I agree the photos showing a juv male, the red spot and the glossy forehead are evidences.
I guess this is the same bird which I saw in TPK on 13/5. There were two, besides this one, another one was much plain and I did call it as female Mrs Gould's.
