Hi, again, asking for info on confirming/id.ing these species. Pictures no. 1 and 2 were taken at 4200 mtr altitude.

1.Brown dipper.jpg

2.1-emberiza 3.jpg

3.1-1.jpg

1. Brown dipper?
2. A bunting?
3. White-rumped vulture?

Thank you again and again!

I'd go for Eurasian Wren. The 3 species of Wren-babbler (Scaly-breasted, Pygmy & Nepal) occurring in the area are virtually tailless, and the white markings on the vent and undertail fit a Wren.
 
Agree with wren, because tail is bit longer, habitat (among rocks and sometimes open, while wren-babblers nearly always in undergrowth) and altitude (wrenbabblers not above 3500m, I think)
 
Sorry for any confusion
(and sorry if it came across as critical of Andy A - I'm sure having a baby is enough to deal with!)

My comment was that the bird linked in Post #6 is a Streaked Wren-babbler. I wasn't suggesting that as an ID for the original photo - it's not in range, and habitat is wrong. My impression of the original post is that it's a Eurasian Wren.

I'm at least partly responsible for not looking a it properly, I did notice that none of the other 'Pygmy's had a tail so should have been alerted by that.
