Another Babbler, Kenya (1 Viewer)

[Wiganlad]

Could this also be an Arrow-marked Babbler in Kenya (probably Mara, maybe Amboseli) as in my previous post of this species which had white spots/flecks on the front, whereas this one does not seem to; instead it has diamond-like shapes below. Thank you in advance for any help. PS Any clues for the bird behind it?

It does look ok for arrow-marked Babbler, tropical Africa populations seem to be lighter in and around the eye than the southern Africa ones, so this is probably it.

Certainly looks like Arrow-marked Babblers I saw around our camp in the Mara.

Thank you both. Any thoughts on the bird behind it?

As for the bird in the background... without knowing Kenya's avifauna a wild guess : Reichard's Seedeater ? Or maybe some kind of sparrow...
