Another batch. I'm pretty sure that 1883 is a Common Bulbul, but I'm struggling with the rest. Is 2035 a Brimstone Canary?

All help much appreciated.

871: yellow-bellied eremomela
(883 is common bulbul)

 

[THE_FERN]

880: fork-tailed drongo (fork tail, brown/reddish eye)

 

[THE_FERN]

948: a wheatear. Gonna guess Isabelline as I think I see extensive buff feather edges. Adjust colours to check if it has prominent black alula

870 could be vitelline masked weaver (pink legs)

035: guess must be brimstone canary (although bill looks small): strong, long supercilium but no corresponding yellow cheek patch, muted wing bars

949; perhaps vitelline masked again. Large bill made me think village but a) not on ebird list and b) back looks streaky/strongly marked

Many thanks for your time and trouble on these.
