I think you need multiple shots of each bird Jan, this is such a tough group!

Not even bird no. 1 is clear to someone with experience? It has pretty weird jizz - I first thought it should be Long-billed, but after I've actually seen those in Israel, I am not convinced anymore.

It does have a large bill, I think we need to see the breast, hence my comment about needing several shots of each bird but I think I could be convinced that it's Long-billed?

I thought about that too, but Etosha seems too far east for the range in the SASOL. (I know, birds don't read bird guides)
It has a pinkish yellow longish bill and a long hind claw though, but it appears to have a white edge to the tips of the tail, it is slender too, which favours African pipit.
