A few birds seen in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana

Hello

I am just back from a three weeks trip around the Kalahari, and I do have a few bird photos I can not identify, hope some might help here.

1. Is this a Lesser Grey Shrike (Lanius minor)

For the others, I guess these are some kind of Larks:

Many thanks in advance.
