Appreciate your ID advise, all 3 photos taken in January in East Gambia, away from the coast.

Thank you!

1. Juvenile Starling?
2. Wood Hoopoe, not sure which without a book.
3 Golden-breasted Bunting

I agree no.2 is a Wood Hoopoe, maybe a young Black (also known as Black Scimitarbill) on tail shape and the presence of gape flanges.

Agree with Andy on no.3 but not sure what no.1 is.

Northern Anteater Chat for 1

And perhaps Brown-rumped rather than Golden-breasted for the Bunting (plainer wings, paler back, thinner black stripes o head).
