Hello

Not seen before the bird in photo 1 and 2 , but I am wondering if it is CHESTNUT-HEADED SPARROW-LARK. I am not very sure , lets see others opinions.

The last bird is a STREAKY SEEDEATER.
 
Bassel,
Yes, it is possible. I am not sure that the first two birds are of the same species (bill looks thicker on the first bird. We need precise locations!! The second bird might be an immature male leucopareia (chestnut on hindnape, longer, thinnner bill - than leucotis).

As for the streaked Cisticola, I won't even attempt them until I know the precise location.
 
I do believe the 1st two could be differant species and were taken at Amboseli national park as were the next two.
Last picture was in Nairobi in a garden

Hello cuckooroller

You are right. We can confirm that they are not the same bird , but for species , really not very sure as I stated. Never seen one before.
 
1 and 2 are Fischer's sparrow-larks ( 1 female and 2 male). The cisticola is a Winding (bill too fine for Croaking).
