Photo 1 & 2, male carrying a red berry in possible courtship display. I was watching a group with one male in breeding plumage and 2 females, (in photo 3) when the berry-carrier flew in and displayed around the other group. It flew off after about 5 minutes. Reminded me of white-winged fairywren males carrying white petals in courtship displays. The only red 'berries' nearby are pixie cups (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/55347374) and African asparagus (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/55347379).
