1 - Spotted Flycatcher?
2 - not sure
3 - Female Weaver, looks similar to this African Golden http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=278954
4 - Greater Honeyguide
5 - Cuckoo sp, maybe Red-chested, but hard to be sure
6 & 7 - Spotted Flycatcher
8 - Sunbird sp (like you didn't already know that), but beyond me in that plumage, and to be fair not a great shot.
9 - Always found these tricky, and can't really do this with confidence from just the one shot, but Red-eyed looks a fair shout.
10 - annoying. Looks distinctive enough but can't find a match.
11 - Tricky angle, but I'd go for Barn Swallow
12 - Yes, both Wood Sandpipers
13 - Possibly African Golden Weaver again
14 - Looks large & long billed, so probably female Malachite.

A tricky bunch of photos, which is most likely why they've been a little overlooked, and is definitely why I've hedged a bit on most of them. Hopefully this will at least bump the thread and get it noticed again, as there's a few guys out in Birdforumland that are pretty sharp on these.

Cheers

James

I'd say definitely :t:

I think 3 is Red-headed Weaver, 11 is Wire-tailed Swallow, I think the Weaver in 13 is probably what most SA field guides call Yellow Weaver (As opposed to what they call Golden Weaver). But these two both have confusingly different names elsewhere.

Thank you very much
