Sri Lanka, three birds, help with ID needed (1 Viewer)

Hi guys,

A friend asked me to identify her bird pics from Sri Lanka. I'm lost with those three. The Egret is an intermediate egret (have another pic with full leg/feet), but what is the brownish one? The bee-eater looks like a juvenile Little Green, but not sure. And the passerine is in bad light unfortunately.

Found in Udawalawe National Park, Sri Lanka, in November.

Your help is appreciated as always ;)

Best,
Gabi

Would the babbler be the Yellow-billed Babbler or the Orange-billed Babbler?

Which egret species would the one in photo 2 be please. Could it be the Intermediate Egret?
 
Thank you - LOL
I understand from googling just now that in SL, Orange-billed Babbler is largely confined to rain forest and jungle - and not typically found in Udawalawe - whereas Yellow-billed Babbler can be regarded as almost "ubiquitous" in that country.
