Tengchong, Yunnan, China ... Part 3 (1 Viewer)

Just back from a trip and a host of unknowns ! Hoping you can help me ID these new-to-me birds.

Sorry for the lo-res photos. Either heavy crops or taken very early/late and so very noisy.

Altitude : Around ca. 1,700 - 2,000m (5,600 - 6,600ft). Yunnan province near the border with Burma.

Last of the Unknowns from Days 1&2 at Tengchong. Next moving onto Gaoligongshan ;)

Note that #3 is from Gaoligongshan at around 1,650m.
Note #5 I am assuming is a Large Hawk-cuckoo as I heard them calling. However can you confirm ? I one other poor shot from the rear if required.

Thanks !
Kevin

Sorry Mark - I have 3 or 4 but all of the bird in the same backlit position with no other features shown. From a distance I had originally thought Grey Bushchat (F) but on over-exposing the shot I can see that my assumption may be mistaken.

Agree on #3.

Many thanks again !
