I could only guess this is also a female H. jacula. The orange on the neck is odd, but perhaps it's reflected from the feeder, the rest seems to fit though.

I thought the same, and I couldn't find any other species with this orange neck markings... Found it quite strange, really.

Maybe it's a new species! An Orange-throated mountain gem?

Haha. Don't mountain gems have stripes behind their eyes though?

Good point, but we could just grab some white paint, nobody will notice!
