Hummers in Central Panama

Hi All,
A fellow sailor sent me some bird photos to ID and I am not sure what these hummers are.
I think:
1. Violet-crowned Woodnymph
2,3 Violet-bellied??
Thanks from both of us for any help.
Sue

With the heavy forked tail, I could agree with number 1.

Number 2, possibly a Blue-chested? Not sure, but it does have a slightly forked tail that I don't think the Violet-bellied does. But, they are pretty tough. I just posted a hummingbird pic from Panama that I am not sure of either.

I know, I just took a guess at yours
The really have a hard time with some of the female/young hummers. I'll look at Blue-chested, thanks.

I just did some googling, and BC looks very good. Don't know how I missed looking at that! I guess I thought it was out of range and didn't go to the text. Thank-you.
