Birds in Karachi, Pakistan? (1 Viewer)

Here are some birds that seem really common here in Karachi, but I don't have any resources here. Can someone help ID these for me?

Also, can anyone recommend a website like Whatbird for Asia? I don't have a field guide out here and was wondering if there are good online resources with photos. Thanks!

will leave the Kite to someone else but suggest Black
2 Looks like a Hooded House Crow
3 Red-vented Bulbul
4 Palm Dove
5 common Mynah
6 I think you are right with Sparrow
 
I reckon:

1. lineatus Black Kite (aka Black-eared Kite)
2. House Crow
3. Red-vented Bulbul
4. Laughing Dove
5. Common Myna
6. the white edging to the greater coverts and a hint of the same to the medians possibly implies Sind Sparrow, but I can't exclude House Sparrow on this view - someone else should have a go at this maybe ...

cheers

100% agree with them all on all the attachments of the first post.
