The red one is called Crimson Sunbird. The other one is Olive Backed sunbird.
Eric, nice shots, esp the Crimson. Did you use a flash? Not easy to the red in its natural colour.

Well done.

The second one is not an Olive-backed Sunbird, but a Brown-throated Sunbird. See the thick not-so-decurved bill.
