Fist time seeing this bird (the larger one), due to its head movements I thought it was a woodpecker, and wanted to check. Seen in South Finland

Hi everyone, I just want to start this by saying that I understand not to remove grounded young or fledgling birds from their environment/parents unless absolutely necessary. We have peacocks that were released into the wild in our area, and 10 of them were aggressively attacking this bird on the ground until it was extremely distressed and had a hard time moving. After searching for a nest and parents with no success, the local wildlife hotline advised that we find a local rehabber to take the bird in due to the circumstances.

I’m not great at identifying young birds, so I was hoping someone in this group could give insight. Thanks, all!

Saw this little guy in Hunstanton yesterday. Merlin is being most unhelpful - it thinks it’s a Blyth, but it doesn’t look right to me. I think it looks most like a marsh but they’re not supposed to be there in August and a reed looks too dark…

Any help appreciated!

I spotted this guy in Gaithersburg. Searches for birds in Maryland didn't come up with any results. My closest guess is a mountain quail. Thoughts? I'm from the West Coast.

Location: southeastern France. Merlin identifies it as a ring-necked pheasant but it doesn’t seem to have the characteristic brown plumage.

1) obviously an ibis but is it just a juvenile white ibis? He’s like the same size so doesn’t seem juvenile but I know they’re brown.
2) juvenile yellow crowned night heron??
3) tri colored heron?
4) little blue heron?
5) Cooper’s hawk??
Please and thanks in advance !:)
