1. African Thrush
2. Northern Grey-headed Sparrow
3. Grey-capped Warbler
6. Red-billed Quelea

I might have to come back to 4 & 5.

Thanks Andrew. I should have gotten 2.

4 ? Yellow-crowned canary
5 violet-backed starling (I think)

4 is a weaver of some kind, but I have no idea which one.

Not for me. Bill shape, eye and general colour all wrong

 

[Andrew Whitehouse]

If there are additional pictures of 4 & 5 that would be very helpful, particularly if they're from different angles.

Thanks to The Fern, Pica Pica, and Andrew. Here are the only other pics I have

I think 5 is a Sooty Chat.

Thanks Andrew.

It is much better - for all concerned - to have all the available photos posted right at the outset. No offence.

Yes the new pic makes this clearer

Thanks The Fern.

Having looked at it again on a bigger screen I agree. Looks more finchlike.

Thanks Pica Pica.

While randomly clicking on the list of « similar threads » I came across this one.
I would suggest bird 4 is a Western Citril.
The last bird I am not certain but could be a juvenile Yellow-fronted canary.

Thanks Tib78.
