As before treat these with caution and wait for confirmation / correction:

1. Grey-headed Sparrow;
2. White-crowned Shrike;
3. Eastern (presumably) Chanting Goshawk;
4. Taita Fiscal? - I think I see a grey mantle;
5. Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse.

416 /1 I guess northern grey-headed sparrow on range. Not sure distinguishable from Swahili sparrow based on this pic
672 / 4 is long-tailed fiscal. Taita has white bordering the grey back, and pale grey rump (white here)

449 / 2. Ebird calls this "white-rumped shrike". Elsewhere it's northern white-crowned shrike to distinguish from near-identical southern species

I think the sparrow is parrot-billed (grey throat and big bill)

I think the sparrow is parrot-billed (grey throat and big bill)

Also possible although ebird headline images suggest a more curved culmen than we can see here (the OP bird has a [small] white throat but so does/can have parrot-billed)
