Birds of Lumbini, Nepal, Dec 2022 - part 1 (1 Viewer)

[mitra.daneshvar]

Hey,

I have some photos for ID. Thank you in advance for helping.

1. Is it Plain Prinia?
2. Any chance for ID?
3. ?
4. I have only this photo.
5 & 6. I think they are both the same bird. Is it Plain Prinia, again? (different location from No.1)
7 & 8. ?
9. I'm not sure if it is the same bird as 7 & 8, because I took photos of other birds in between.
10. Which Pipit?

1. It looks quite robust, so I was wondering about Jungle Prinia, but that species seems to have a limited distribution in Nepal and doesn't seem to be present in this area. So maybe just a Plain Prinia.
2 & 4. Zitting Cisticola.
3. Pied Bushchat female.
5 & 6. Yes, probably Plain Prinia again.
7-9. Looks like a Siberian Chiffchaff.
10. Olive-backed or Tree. Do you have another angle showing the head pattern better?

I have these photos of the pipit, but none show the head pattern and there is a chance that the photos belong to two pipits.

The 1st and 2nd images show a broken supercilium, so I think this individual at least is Olive-backed.
