Grassland Sparrow, this is a small sparrow, and it is possible to see the yellow lore on this bird. Grassland Sparrow could be confused with Yellow-browed Sparrow. However, the Yellow-browed Sparrow has more yellow on the face, and lives in a different habitat.

Wedge-tailed Grassfinch (next two photos), it's possible to see the pointed tail at the second photo, and at the first photo the birds shove the prominent black streaking at the back.
