Passerines [Peru] (1 Viewer)

Hello! I've been travelling around southern Peru and I've photographed a few birds I'm not able to identify, and I was hoping you could help me out.

The blueish-black bird was on the south Peruvian coast. My wildest guess is that it's a blue-black grassquit (mainly because of the name... )

The one with the orange beak was in the Colca canyon at over 2500m altitude. Could it be a band-tailed sierra finch?

The last one I have absolutely no idea! Photographed in Ollantaytambo (2700m altitude).

Thank you in advance!

For the last one I would start by looking at the Elaenia section of the field guide

Agree with Blue-black Grassquit for #1.
#2 is Mourning Sierra-finch (note black-throat/bib)
#3 looks like White-crested Elaenia, but more photos (sideview) would be desirable to confirm this.

Thank you! Here's two more pictures, although they're not exactly side view.

What can be seen on the 2 extra pics is consistent with White-crested, but wait for more opinions on this.
