Can someone please identify these birds? Taken in Botanical Gardens Entebbe in June. I believe 2 is a Bronze Mannakin.
Thanks
Chris

1. Winding Cisticola
2&3. Bronze Mannikin
4. Not sure - looks a bit like a Northern Puffback but colours don't seem right.
5. Not sure - a juvenile robin or flycatcher. I suspect not Sooty, which is quite rare at that site and is shorter tailed.

Think 4 might be northern puffback. It's somewhat similar to this:

ML126243371 Northern Puffback Macaulay Library

[Note brownish wing edges]. I couldn't quickly find an example with a greyish bill like the OP bird, but did find similar for black-backed puffback when I happened to be looking at that species. Suspect plumages are analogous
