Yellow suffusion on underparts, particularly on centre of breast; tail short but not minute as in Handsome sunbird, and with pale tips at least to outer tail feathers; greyish face; eye with narrow broken pale eyering; bill dark with pinkish base to lower mandible, curve close to centre. All of these are consistent with female Purple-throated sunbird (on Tablas at least).
cheers

Thanks. Yes the contrasting wing panel formed by the edges of the primaries is typical, though on Tablas is more rusty than shown here - but that may be the angle of the light.
