Looking for a second opinion on this bishop sp.. Anyone like to hazard a guess?

Would go for Northern Red on the first two, not sure about the third (is it the same bird as #2?

I expect there will be a Gambia expert along soon though!

Yellow-crowned for 2 and 3?

All shots relate to the same bird. We were also thinking Yellow-crowned Bishop.

Thanks

It has been a while since I was in Gambia, but I would expect Northern Red to be more streaked underneath and less yellowy around the super. I think you got your ID correct Dermot.
