Kenya Problem birds (1 Viewer)

[monkir]

These seen in Northern Kenya have me puzzled. Sorry about poor quality shots on some of them. Help greatly appreciated , Thanks.

214 looks like terrestrial brownbul but if out of range perhaps a related species like northern brownbul [you don't say where this is]
44: fawn-coloured (or foxy) lark, or if in range Gillett's [think foxy]
41: male cuckoo-finch/parasitic weaver
55: white-tailed lark?
69,05: yellow-spotted bush-sparrow / petronia

214 is perhaps Croaking Cisticola?

and 555 Fischer's Sparrow-lark?

sparrow-lark looks right. Shouldn't croaking have a longer tail, and white underparts (appear grey here) ? [Agree it's a cisticola on second look]

Thank you! I thought 641 was a Parasitic Weaver too. Cisticolas are still a mystery to me.
