The first bird looks like one of the Grey-headed Sparrows. It has a pale bill and lacks the clean white throat of Northern Grey-headed though.

Agree with Spotted Morning Thrush AKA Spotted Palm Thrush.

As for the woodpecker, it's between Nubian and Golden-tailed for me. Hopefully someone with more experience can pin it down.
 
Woodpeckers are Nubian. As far as I remember, the regular sparrow in Northern Tarangire is Swahili Sparrow, and it matches what I see
