Poor Judge of Pasta.
No books to hand right now but
1 looks like a Seedeater, White-collared?
2 Can't recall the difference off hand between Blue-Grey nad tropical Gnatcatchers, but on range isn't Tropical more likely?
3 Baltimore Oriole?
4 Yellow Olive Flycatcher
5 Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Agreed, except..
2 - Tropical Gnatcatcher
3 - Seems to show alot of white on the greater coverts, is this not more indicative of Bullock's Oriole?

I was leaning toward streak-backed for the oriole.
The gnatcatcher is likely a tropical, but I'm not familiar enough to eliminate white-lored. Can one of the tropical experts enlighten me?

I believe that on white-lored female, the white should only be in front of the eye, the superloral and there would be black tracing the rear edge of the ear coverts?

2 - Tropical Gnatcatcher or White-lored female. I don't see the eye-ring that makes it a Blue-gray and the white superciliaries are narrow as in the White-lored. Was this taken in northwest CR?
3- I went for Bullock's also
4 - Sure looks like a flycatcher bill but I don't see any white around the eyes or wing bar that would indicate a Yellow-olive. Love those flycatchers!
5 - female RB Grosbeak

Stiles and Skutch notes that Bullock's "has been seen" in Guanacaste, but Baltimore is the expected of the Northern Oriole "complex". And after taking a closer look at the field guides, I switch my vote to Baltimore. I thought it looked like a lot of white in the wings, which is why I thought streak-backed, but the black on the forehead wouldn't be present on a streak-backed. It would be on a Baltimore.
And after checking the guide, I'm going with tropical for the gnatcatcher. I think the strong gray on the breast favors that over white-lored.
