A very fitting name for this Splendid sunbird / Cinnyris coccinigastrus / Souimanga éclatant clicked in Agbodrafo, Togo (6°12'31.7"N 1°29'10.8"E). I first thought it was some kind of hummingbird but it seems there are none in Togo. It is very small, can stay stationary by fluttering its wings very rapidly, has a long curved bill and drinks nectar from flowers, hence my good-faith mistake!
