Ethiopia - Dove plus two. (1 Viewer)

Photos are of three different birds all taken in April 2019.
The first a Dove at Lake Langano (South of Addis Ababa). Is this just a Ring-necked Dove with the ring completely obscured? Black eye would seem to indicate so.
The second shot, taken in the Bale Mountains NP, (I only have this one rather poor photo) looks as though it should be immediately identifiable - but I can't place it.
The last two are of the same bird taken in North Et. slightly smaller and much slimmer than a sparrow.

That's great, thanks, Arcadillar & Aeshna.
Re 2: I had another photo, taken in the same area, which I had identified as a Baglafecht Weaver (see photo) but did not make the connection with this one because of the unusually white eye and belly.
Cheers, Chris
