Bird mysterys that are hard even for the best bird vwatchers?

1. in montenegro i saw a small tern hovering over a river. it was quick and had yellow feet and a yellow beak. it only had a black patch near its eye not on its head.
2.in yugoslavia i saw a lark which was only black and white all over.on the field and near the marsh perched on a post.
3. i saw two gamebirds about 25 cm . they were all brown with no spots. they were near the field and marsh
Answers:
Here are my guesses
1. Little Tern - the only European tern with yellow feet and beak
2. How about some kind of wheatear?
3. Hard to say. Corncrake, gray partridge, quail, pheasant?
