Birds of Annapurna Trek, Nepal - Nov 2022 (part 1) (1 Viewer)

Hello All,

I appreciate if you can help me identifying these birds. I uploaded the best photos I had and most of the time I only got one photo of the bird.

I know photos 1 and 2 are not really good for ID. 3 and 4 are the same bird and even 5 and 6 could be the same is the other two.

Thanks in advance,
Mitra

1. f Pied Bushchat?
2. Grey-hooded Warbler? I know the crown looks green but throat and underparts are yellow, bill shape suggests this species.
3-4. I think I can see some red at the side of the base of the tail, so my guess is Fire-tailed Sunbird.
5-6. Not sure it's the same bird as 3-4. Quite yellow underneath with some reddish tones and big white tips to the feathers at the base of the under-tail, so I'm thinking Green-tailed.
7. Tickell's Leaf Warbler.
8. Fire-tailed Sunbird.
9. f Pink-browed Rosefinch.

Tho by far not an expert, I've been looking at Indian Subcontinent books/images a lot (having just returned from Nepal/Bhutan), and I agree with Andy.
