Agree on all
3,4 could be juvenile Blach-headed Weaver (huge bill)
7 is Grosbeak Weaver

3,4 Could be Speke's Weaver, as it seems to have a yellow eye (not pink of black-headed).
8,9 are tricky - Taveta Golden Weaver can't really be ruled out I think. Bit if this was from the coast north of Mombassa then I'm voting Golden Palm too. Elsewhere Taveta or just Golden.
