Hi everyone,
Need your help for identifying several birds observed in Brazil. Except the first picture (raptor) taken along the coast of Paraty, RJ, all the others were taken in the Atlantic Forest Reserve, at Rio das Pedras. Many thanks in advance.

The forum gives me a warning against bumping old threads, but I think that in the case of ID Q/A it is unwarranted - I hope that if I broke some laws, someone will get to me shortly

Anyway, I decided to browse the 0-reply ID threads in case I bump into something I know well as I would like to give back to the forum and most of the threads are too complicated to me. And behold, I think I know no. 3 quite well, this should be Masked Water Tyrant, have seen this bird at several spots in Brazil, always very prominent and easy to see.

I think the following:

1. Roadside Hawk
2. Cliff Flycatcher
3. Masked Water Tyrant
4. House Wren
5. Grey-breasted Martin

The hirundines (pic #5) are a Progne species; not sure which occurs in that area.

Masked Water Tyrant - amazing example of convergent evolution with Northern Wheatear!
