ID Help: Various locations Western USA (1 Viewer)

[Westmidstraveller]

I would really appreciate your help in IDing the following birds.

The first picture was taken in Kolob Canyon (Zion National Park). It was close to a Western Scub-Jay, could it be a juvenile or is it something completely different.

The second was taken in Rocky Mountain National Park, is it a Hairy Woodpecker?

The third, again taken in Rocky Mountain National Park, I thought was a Red-naped Sapsucker (on another shot I can clearly see the red-nape) but it's chest is very white, is this normal?

Number 4 was taken near Devil's Tower, Wyoming. Is it a female Downy Woodpecker?

Number 5 also taken near Devil's Tower - Is it a White-breasted Nuthatch? The colours on its back doesn't look quite right to me.

More help please...

The next two are two shots of the same bird (Plover?) taken in Custer State Park South Dakota. I don't know which Plover.

Again in Custer State Park the shot on the reeds, a type of Sparrow?

I believe the next one is a Yellow-Rumped Warbler, am I correct? This one was taken in Yellowstone National Park.

The final one of this batch again taken in Yellowstone NP, looks like a Williamson's Sapsucker, but the belly doesn't look yellow though.

And more...

The next one call it shot 11 was taken in Yellowstone National Park (as were all the rest in this section. I don't know what this one is.

The next I believe to be Dark-eyed Junco, pink-sided mearnsi

The Finch, is it a Cassin's or a Common Rosefinch?

The final one, I thought was a Flicker, possibly Northern, but it lacks the marking at the side of its face.

agree on all of fugl's IDs, just that he mixed up 3 and 4 in #5 (3 is red-winged blackbird, 4 is YRW).

Excellent! Thank you for your help.

I'm starting to get better at this!!!

The Red-winged Blackbird really foxed me, didn't think to look at the immature sketches!

Nice picture of the yellow-rumped warbler, they're so dissimilar to the ones here I wouldn't have guessed it!
