Am struggling to fit these glossies within a species...

OK, I'm going with Burchell's for the one at Habu, because of the black eye; and greater blue-eared for the last because of geography and likelihood.

But I'm stuck on the first - and this one as well, which was at the Buitepos border post:

Any ideas?

In my opinion, 1, 4 and 5 are all Cape Glossy (red eye and overall shape).

On appearance and location, I think you are right about Burchell's for 3 and 4.
