Three birds from Bagan, Myanmar (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I am unsure about the ID of these birds:
All three photos were taken in Bagan, Myanmar in late January.

1) I thought this was an Oriental Honey Buzzard. What do you think?

2) Plain Prinia?

3) Buff bellied pipit?

Sorry for the not so great pictures...

Thank you!

I would agree with OHB and Plain Prinia but I think the pipit is more likely to be Olive-backed.

Is the Prinia not Grey breasted? Olive backed Pipit for pic three

Yes, I must admit the undertail pattern is good for Grey-breasted (3 broad black bands). I was put off by the distinct super.

Thanks for your answers!
The Craig Robson field guide says about the Myanmar subspecies of plain prinia that it is deep buff below and has a long tail. This bird does not look deep buff below to me. So Grey Breasted may be more convincing, but I thought it might have to do with the light. And I thought the same thing with the super, it looked too prominent for grey breasted from the illustration in the fieldguide. But I have no experience with this species and this might just be a not so good illustration. I‘ll put it down as grey breasted prinia.
