CLOSED: Various birds from Islands of Hawaii

What species are these songbirds among doves and others? These were seen at Maui Island one of the lovely remote Hawaii Islands of the U.S. I've a pocket guide to Hawai'i's Birds. But have yet found their I.D. I'd appreciate your help.

...the doves and others.

The 1st friendly bird(s) I noticed upon arrival also one of which that bid us (DH and I) Aloha when we left for home to main land.

...more doves?

...?

...and this redheaded one?

How about this, tropical or just domestic chicken?

A better pic. of the first birds in question;

First & last is Java Sparrow Lonchura oryzivora

Will check the others tomorrow

Not 100% but in the first pic it looks like there might be a male House Sparrow on the branch between the feeders.

Thank you Burd, Pelle and Resin. We're on a row here! I thought I recognize the housefinches there too. How about this one, I may have a pair male and female of a same species? These were taken at Kilauea volcano National Park. I thought they're more colorful here.

pic. #2 female?

Yep, male and female House Sparrows

Resin

Thank you, Resin.

Here is a pic. of some waterfowls roosting on a tree. Sorry the quality isn't the best. They perch there day/night. What are they please?

#2

Not a native species among them, unfortunately... except possibly the last 2 photos - can't make out what they are - possibly cattle egret (also introduced).

Oh, the chicken is very close to Jungle Fowl, but one also sees some very domesticated-looking ones (i.e. heavy-bodied, rather than small and lithe).

AG, sure enough. There are Castle Egrets from Africa that were introduced into Hawaii in 1950's. Many thanks.

Okay, here is another unknown "city bird". :-)

Ooooops! Never mind, those are Zebra Doves (repeat pic.).

Nice list you have going Lily. :)

"Here is a pic. of some waterfowls roosting on a tree" - I'd agree with Cattle Egret

Resin

Thanks Burd. There are so many attractions on the Islands of Hawaii, I was told there are 160 of them, eight of which are the main populated Islands. Others are national perserved for wildlife habitats! I'm longing for return visit to explore some of the remote areas and its wildlife refuge region while I can.

Thanks Resin for the confirmation of the Egrets. Okay, more help is needed here. Is this a Least Sandpiper?

Looks like a Pacific Golden Plover

Ditto to Pacific Golden Plover

Resin

Lovely pix, Kim!

Thanks Kim, there are many more to explore in the Islands. I'll post some pics. of our waterfowls next. Which one is this please?

That last one is the Ruddy Turnstone or 'Akekeke, Arenaria interpres. A winter visitor to Hawai'i.

Thank you Dave.

You're very welcome!

Any more photos?

At first I thought I was luck up onto Hawaii state bird Nene , but it isn't.

That looks like a domestic Goose.

Jungle hen? Dave, I'll have to make a return visit to your homeland. Such paradise!

I believe these might be the Ne Ne's. This was taken at a hotel but we saw them all over Kauai along with the endless chickens. I wish I cold have gotten a picture of that unusual pheasant (or was it a peacock?) that looks like a rooster on the BI.

The Plover and Turnstone are native to Hawai'i.

The Turnstone is a Winter visitor from it's Arctic breeding grounds.

The Jungle Fowl is a Polynesian / Hawaiian introduction.
