North-East Brazil, August, 2 hummers and 3 passerines (1 Viewer)

Dear all,
I am either tired (or useless), and would love your help to ID these five.
I am pretty sure they are quite common, and that would explain why I did not take any notes, and am now confused.
Apologies for the quality, but as always...
Thank you in advance, ugolino

I have looked again with fresh eyes and I think that
- 3 is Caatinga Antwren female
- 4 is Planalto Tyrranulet
Am I in the right direction ? Still stuck on the others...
Help please !
Thank you, ugolino
 
I think you got the antwren right, Caatinga Antwren. The tyrannulet I think it is Mouse-colored Tyrannulet (Phaeomyias murina). Number 5 I think is an individual of the NE Brazil race of Rufous-fronted Thornbird.
 
#1 - Seems to have too little green on the breast, it looks to me like a better fit for female White-chinned Sapphire.

#2 - Agree with Blue-chinned Sapphire, this seems pretty straightforward unless I'm missing something.

#3 - Agree with Caatinga Antwren.

#4 - Agree with Mouse-colored Tyrannulet, stance is not like a Phyllomyias, and color is classic for Mouse-colored.

#5 - Strong legs, red eye, in shaded understory - looks to me more like a female plumage White-shouldered Fire-eye than a Rufous-fronted Thornbird. The Thornbird should have a heavier, stubbier bill with a more arched culmen, notably.
 
Thank you all.... I knew I had photo'ed the female white shouldered Fire-eye and could not find it....
These ids actually create further issues, and I will need to seek for help for a few further passerines.
PS: apologies about the locations details, mostly in the Icatare region in Bahia state.
Best, ugolino
