Its head looks like that of a

The top value has the very surprising
Eurasian Treecreeper (Certhia familiaris)

250th birthday of Alexander von Humboldt: one stamp featuring
a small image of a
bird which I am trying to identify. It has some characteristics that suggest
Eurasian Wryneck (Jynx torquilla), but I've never seen a yellow one! Any
suggestions?
Update
A much better suggestion than Wryneck is
Northern Andean Flicker (Colaptes cinereicapillus)
which is consistent with the South American theme, and is yellowish.
Update
However, the bird on the stamp does not look right for a Flicker, and I have been unable to locate details of the painting that was used for the stamp, so I
think it is best to leave this particular bird as "unidentifiable".

Update
Georgia Post has published in Georgian a
page featuring this stamp.
The
Google translation of this page makes no mention of a second stamp, but perhaps this page was put together hastily to get the stamp
included in the PostEurop competition. The date on the page (May 16) might refer to the intended issue date, but I have not seen any sales of this stamp.
Update
I have been sent
this image of the full issue which is apparently now available for purchase, but it has not appeared on Georgia Post's website.
The second stamp in the issue features
Eurasian Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus). The same image was used on a
2002 stamp issued with the name "Guinea".
A detailed view of the
source picture by Gould
reveals that the prey is
House Sparrow (Passer domesticus), and a second Sparrow is flying away just below the tail of the
perched Sparrowhawk.

difference in size. Perhaps the designer decided to show a size comparison between the Tawny Owl and a
Little Owl (Athene noctua)!

"Malawi Wildlife":
a mini-sheet of 6 stamps. The Buffalo seems to have at least one Oxpecker on its nose. A better view might reveal whether it is
Red-billed Oxpecker (Buphagus erythrorhynchus) or
Yellow-billed Oxpecker (Buphagus africanus). Both are possible, but the latter is more likely.
Commonwealth Stamps Opinion reported the date of issue as 24 April 2019,
but
this cover may be showing the intended date,
although the stamps all have "2018". Confusingly, I had received an email from Malawi Post early in April informing me that there would be a new issue of " 'endangered animals' on 27 April 2019".
The source image confirms that the birds are indeed
Yellow-billed Oxpecker (Buphagus africanus).
