some wild guesses for the big foreground bird:
a guineafowl - maybe Black guineafowl. But beak isn't right, and should show bare face and usually a bit of a crest.
a francolin, maybe swainson's francolin. Better match for beak, but plumage is off.
Might help to narrow it down by continent, if possible. Somebody here will probably recognize the second bird back, which will accomplish that.

Or an Eastern Black Redstart? The main bird's first impression to me is also some sort of guinea fowl, a cross between a black and a helmeted theoretically. But it could be francolin, partridge or spurfowl but which one? Surely a study from somewhere in the Africas and in Victorian times. Guessing the other images are of a swallow and a type of pigeon.

I wondered whether this might be some tropical scenario.
and I wondered whether maybe the main bird in the picture might be the Sri Lankan Spurfowl (male).
If so , what about Green Imperial Pigeon for the perched bird, and Crested Tree Swift for the bird in flight.
As for the other one: I too thought about male Redstart
