id - Sichuan birds (Jiu Zai Guo)

Hi,

New resolution to clean my old record shots... these were taken in March 2008 inside Jiu Zai Guo - Sichuan).
I can't be sure of the id of the treecreepers (even if I think the third one is probably a bar-tailed treecreeper) and of one bird (a grey-winged blackbird???).
If anyone could help, even partially on the ids, that would be great. Apologies in advance on the photo quality, as I only had a 200mm + 2x...

Thanks and happy new year to all

Hi there, anyone would be able to help. Even one id of bird would be nice...

Thanks a lot! 3551875328cc445

1 and 2 seem to be Eurasian Treecreeper
3 is Bar-tailed Treecreeper
4 seems to be Chinese Blackbird

Thanks a lot!

Jiu Zhai Gou birds

Not sure about the last one, a corvid came to mind, but I agree that 3 is Bar-tailed Treecreeper.

As for 1 & 2; for the sake of your records you might note that  [b]"Eurasian Treecreeper"[/b] [i]C.familiaris[/i] has been split and [b]"Hodgson's Treecreeper"[/b] [i]C.hodgsoni[/i] (0844.3) is often reported from JZG in the annual China Bird Reports, rather than Eurasian.

How to tell the difference between [i]familiaris[/i] and [i]hodgsoni[/i] ?

Mmmmm.... too hard for me.

Actually hodgsoni should be the right name for Sichuan, from what I can see. I am not sure about the last bird. From my old memories, it looked a bit large for a blackbird, but definitely not a large corvid.
