Another similar to 4&5

I'd agree with Holub's Golden Weaver (although you've done better than me, the only one I saw there looked like it had been dragged through a hedge backwards - perhaps it had). I think the other may be a Baglafechet, but not in full plumage. The pattern seems to shadow that of the adult female, so perhaps an immature?

I agree on 1,2 and 3.
4 & 5... quit while you're ahead :hi:

Thanks for the confirmation of the Holub's folks.
Anyone any further inspiration on 4&5
Cheers

Excellent advice, but oh, so hard to follow!!

Too right James, it just keeps niggling away at you.
I have one or two more to put up and maybe that will distract me unless anyone else out there can shed any light

Hi Tully

At this stage I would venture a guess only on number 4&5 that they are Baglefecht's in varying stages of plumage. Personally I find Baglafechts hugely variable and frustrating at best of times - not forgetting the zillion races of Baglafecht's.

Cheers
