Sunbird ID

Sunbird ID

This morning I saw a sunbird in Pokfulam Country Park, I was in a shaded area and the bird flew out of a bush and was hovering for around 30 seconds aprox 6 Ft from me. It had a metallic blue/purple head and tail, the rest of the top of the body appeared dark and the underparts appeared creamy/yellow. It didn't appear to have any red on the body and I couldn't see a fork-tail. (The bird was at eye-level facing towards me)  I can't see it in the "Photographic Guide to the Birds of HK so any help would be appreciated

as you can see from the flower the red color has been boostered if this had been desaturated I am sure this would be the bird

Thanks a lot for the help.
