No. 5 is a brown snake-eagle (colouring around the eyes).

Most likely Juvenile black-chested snake-eagle, but head and underbody are very white

n°5 could be a Snake-Eagle too, but the white marking just below the eye makes me think of a Harrier (maybe a Pallid Harrier ???)

Juvenile black-chested snake-eagle?

The fourth one I'd also consider as a brown snake eagle because of the streaked head.
But I'm not entirely sure about that.

a black-chested snake-eagle.

I would also say Black-chested Snake-Eagle.

I'd like to think that this is a juvenile black-chested snake-eagle? Taken in Kruger in 2017.

Why not just brown, Mello?

Brown

I thought BCSN because of the white inside of the tail.

the tail looks white

Right But also the black-chested has bars on the tail and there is no sign of black chest nor white underside. The head is that of a brown snake-eagle and also the posture IMO.

And it's an adult bird

They have forgotten to paint the tail stripes
