Yes I had the first impression of Babbler. I suspect that the white lore
spot on the upper bird may be part of a stripe extending further back but
masked by a shadow. However the bill in the upper bird doesn't appear to
have the curved point of a Babbler but it is also covered by the branch. The
bottom one looks quite pointed. There is just something about the way they
are standing that has a Babbler jizz but I would not stake my life on it.
Regards Rex
