Can someone please confirm these to be Yellow-mantled Widowbirds? Taken near Masindi Uganda July. Note I believe pic 8 (8689) is a female Fan-tailed Widowbird.
thanks
Chris

Best guess is white-winged widow bird. It can't be yellow-mantled because that has a dark bill. I'm guided esp by the chestnut shoulder patch we can see in the female in some images. The little of the male's white we can see appears yellowish but I think that's an illusion
