These 5 photos were taken in late August in the southern portion of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would say 2 is a Chat Flycatcher. 4 is a Pipit sp., maybe African.

Thanks, I wasn't sure between Marico and Chat flycatcher so that's great.

1 should be easy with that quality pic, but I'm not near my books!

1 Looks like Jackal Buzzard, easy to eliminate Augur as it's not there according to the range map.

I'm not good with raptors, so I usually don't comment on them. But since no-one has picked up the other two, how about juvenile Southern Pale Chanting Goshawk for both? Or what?

Agree with Chat flycatcher and all three raptors are Jackal buzzards. Long time since I last visited Southern africa but I would call the pipit a Long-billed (longish bill and tail, shortish legs, supercilium long, "bent" and whitish).
