I'm just review some photos from a trip a few years ago and am struggling to identify these. I realise that some of these might be the same species.

Any help appreciated, as always.

Thanks - I believe these were taken between San Jose and Tortuguero National Park but it was over 6 years ago and cannot be certain.

Apologies for posting a different species, but taken in Tortuguero. I think this a Ruescent Tiger-heron. Am I right?

4 is likely purple throated mountain gem, due to greyish belly and throat colour. Unlikely to have been taken in the lowlands, presumably from central Cordillera district?

Bare throated tiger heron for the cicconiforme, quite common on the Caribbean coast.

A few more:
Is the first one a Fasciated Tiger Heron?

TIA
