Birds of Annapurna Trek, Nepal - Nov 2022 (part 2) (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 think 1 is a woodpecker, but don't have other photos. 2, 3 and 4 are of one bird. 5, 6 and 7 are the same raptor. any chance for identifying 8?


Thanks in advance,
Mitra

1. Looks like Chestnut-crowned Laughingthrush.
2-4. Whiskered Yuhina.
5-7. An Accipiter. It seems to have a 5-fingered hand, has several quite broad tail bars and secondaries are barred. Besra? It looks a bit small and short-winged for Crested Goshawk.
8. m Rufous-gorgeted Flycatcher.

I took liberty of adjusting image a little...
Easy to agree with Andy again ;-)

So you think it's a Bersa, too?

I am not an expert... and sometimes images are just not good enough :-/
Tail bands appear equal. The heavy chest streaking might be there... but hard to be sure

Besra, shikra, eurasian sparrowhawk or crested goshawk?
