I think 1 is another Hepatic
You could be right with 2 but I wonder why there is no rufous in the wing, the bill being all black concerns me as well?
I considered immature Blue Dacnis but the bill is the wrong shape.
I'm wondering about an immature Green Shrike Vireo?

The first looks better for a Carmiol's Tanager to me. Not sure about the second (I'm not positive how to rule out Bay-headed).

Agree,
Bay-headed Tanager would have a blue belly but perhaps it's a juv?

Also agree on Carmiol's/Olive tanager: http://www.birdforum.net/opus/Carmiol's_Tanager
Regarding No 2: the old Ridgely guide to Panama writes on Bay-head
It seems to me that not showing any specific plumage colors is more expected with Bayhead.

Yes, Carmiol's, not sure about the juv. Tan but my first impression was female juv. Rufous-winged.
