Costa Rica - Adventure Park San Luis (NW of San Jose) (1 Viewer)

My first post on birdforum, hopefully it is not bad manners to ask about 5 birds in one post?

These pics were taken on Jan 15. This was my first visit to Costa Rica. I was only at this park for 2 hours (cruise ship excursion), but got at least 25 new species. Also some spectacular wall-worthy pics. Trying to ID pics from an area you've never been to can be a challenge, but I'm confident I got most of them right. However, I'm looking for help/confirmation on 5 birds.

Bird 1 - I'm thinking this is a Gray-capped Flycatcher. However, while common in Costa Rica, I don't see many sightings in this particular area so I thought I'd check. I attached 2 pictures (the second is its back as it was ducking away).

Bird 2 - Took this pic near some hummingbird feeders. On first glance, I thought it was too chubby to be a hummer (I'm not being judgmental here). However, the wings and tail look hummer-like to me. Give the flash of white on the tail, I'm wondering if it is a White-necked Jacobin? Or maybe its not even a hummer...

Bird 3 - maybe a Tennessee Warbler?

Bird 4 - Philadelphia Vireo?

Bird 5 - Carmiol’s Tanager?

Many thanks in advance!!!
 
Bird 1 is a chlorospingus, probably common although I can't see enough to rule out sooty-capped
Bird 2 assuming it's a hummer then white-necked Jacobin
Bird 5 agree
