Promise Tom, no more rubbish Sunbird/Pipit photos. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />About Foxy (Lark, I assume). No such bird in Birds of East Africa curiously, but I assume it´s just included by the authors as a Fawn-Coloured Lark? Since you are sure D1 is a Grey Flycatcher could I ask why? I find it impossible to distinguish them and am curious how you tell them apart.MacNara, I like your reasoning about the Marico. And about the small flying bird - no, Flappet Lark is of course a very good possibility, I seemed to remember that our guide said Wing-Snapping Cisticola, that´s why I assumed. But he´s not a birding guide.</blockquote>
