The second bird looks like an olive back sunbird. The second I am not sure, but looks like a plain throated sunbird. Hope I'm right as I got this out of my field guide and the irredicent part imparts a different hue when viewed in different light which makes it difficult to pinpoint exactly. But I guess the yellow underpart is the clincher. hope this helps.
By the way, great pics! What lens and setting were you using?
