Hello!

Please help me identify these birds, photographed on Ngorongoro crater rim in December
1-2 Singing Cisticola?
3 Which eagle?
4-5 Lanner?

Thanks

1-2. Looks more like red-faced cisticola (and singing cisticola seems to be out of range).
3. Looks like a snake-eagle, and the only one that's likely and looks anything like that seems to be western banded snake-eagle.
4-5. Evenly-patterned underwing indicates peregrine, though otherwise I might well have doubts and wonder about lanner.

Agree: peregrine for me.

1-2. Agree with Butty: Red-faced
3. Looks not stocky enough for Banded, juvenile Black-chested imho
4-5. marked undertail coverts and broad moustache make it a beautiful Peregrine

Thank you. Red-faced Cisticola makes sense

Although Singing Cisticolas are also present
Agree with Peregrine
Snake Eagle is still a little mystery. The only species recorded on eBird for this spot is Black-Chested Snake Eagle. However I cannot find a photo of a similarly dull looking juvenile.
Western Banded SE looks good. Like on this photo African Bird Club
However the cere should be yellow, and it is not in the bird in question
Brown SE can also potentially be there but looks really different
