I'm struggling to separate Black and young Yellow-billed Kites. These pictures are all from Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.

Any tips for separating the two species?

Thanks,

the first series all look like Yellow-billed, starting to get lighter bills
second set more difficult but both Yellow-billed imo
