I think this may well be a Blue Purple Hummingbird. This link takes you to one of the best Hummingbird photographers and showcases many of these stunning little birds.

Very similar to the Splendid Sunbird though. Such beautiful colours.

I used to know a humming bird. She could sing as well.
(Sorry I'm in that sort of mood).
