Hi Keith, I think that this is a Little Green Bee-Eater. The Blue-Cheeked has a rusty red throat patch. This is a photo I got last year in Mushrif Palace Gardens. Not a great photo but you can see the difference.
The first time that I saw a Little Green Bee-Eater I had exactly the same reaction given the amount of blue on the head.
