These are really distant shots and can't really see much detail in any of these birds, but I'll have a go:
1 and 5: one of the larger, streaked, and masked flycatchers -- Piratic? Variegated? don't know beyond that
2: Tropical Kingbird? going by the general color impression
3: Elaenia sp, with that bifurcated crest
4: a Pewee/Olive-sided Flycatcher... it seems to have a pale throat? hard to judge due to distance

I agree with Carlos on those. That first one could be a Streaked.
My vote for the elaenia is Mottle-backed.
Last bird also looks like a Streaked Fly.

The first one looks small-billed so I would lean towards Piratic. Agree with TK for 2. I also agree with Patrick about 3 being Mottle-backed Elaenia with that crest. 4 looks too long-tailed for Olive-sided Flycatcher so my vote would go to one of the wood-pewees. 5 looks stronger-billed that 1 so I would agree with Patrick about Streaked Flycatcher

It could be Piratic Flycatcher.

Def TK.

Def Mottle-backed Elaenia

I think it may be too slaty for any of the Wood-Pewees and that the thing that appears as a wingbar may well be part of the branch. If an all slaty pewee at that altitude sitting right in the open, I'd go for Smoke-colored Pewee. Maybe you have more pictures?

The last bird is a Golden-crowned Flycatcher. Note that it is plain above.
