An absolutely great job you are doing Jane...
Here's a few comments and threads that seem to be missing:
Missing: Imm. Roadside Hawk from Brazil:
http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=6948
A long way down on the same thread there's also a Hook-billed Kite, though no real argument why.
**Added later. Just looked at what someone id'ed as a Hook-billed Kite. It isn't!!! It also shows Roadside Hawk, but this time two adults (right pic. perhaps an imm.). I'll place a thread there.
Missing: Pale-vented Pigeon (a Neotropical species):
http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=16000
You've placed "Blue and Yellow Tanager" under Vireos by mistake... It is also still present in the un-id'ed list.
"Great Egret/thread] Ibis and Limpkin" links to a thread about Great White Egret with a short note on id'ing it from Great White Heron. Nothing about Limpkins or Ibises.
Similar thing can be said about "Martial Eagle[/b]• vultures [thread=12882]Ruppell's Vulture". Presumeably the Vulture link "disappeared" into the Eagle link. It leads to the Martial Eagle discussion.
The "Unidentified Nightjar" is placed both among id'ed and un-id'ed.
Regarding groupings: Only one that bugs me a bit is that Azara's Spinetail is placed in "New World Warblers and similar". At least it should be placed in a sub-group. It took me quite a while to find it, as it doesn't look anything like a New World Warbler, and the ovenbirds (the family that includes spinetails) are un-related to them.
Finally, perhaps somewhat inappropriate for your list as the exact species of Woodcreeper on the photo's isn't identified (and isn't possible to id for sure). But, if people would just note the things listed, they would be able to id (almost) every single species in this rather hard Neotropical family without to many problems; no matter if seen in Peru, Venezuela, Costa Rica or elsewhere.

If choosing to include this last thread, it would be logical to place it together with Azara's Spinetail. Ovenbirds and Woodcreepers look rather similar, the two families are found in roughly the same countries, and they are closely related.
Anyways, what a pleasure it is that someone is actually willing to spend the amount of time on making a id-list. THANK YOU!
