Using my trusty Sinclair & Ryan Birds of Africa south of the Sahara, I think this bird is a Yellow-bellied Waxbill (East African Swee), Coccopygia quartinia. It has a bicolored, conical bill (black on top, red below), red uppertail coverts and base of upper tail, olive-ish back and wings, plain gray face, head, and throat, and (vaguely in this case) yellowish belly. The other similarly colored waxbills are found in southern Africa.

And it's a gorgeous bird.
