missing the neotropics
First set of birds:
I think the long superciliary line and the extensive black in the tail are enough to say Cordilleran Canastero and not Maquis. If you know exactly where the photo is from it could help.
Looks like a clean breast and some rufous on the outer webs of the tail feathers, pointing at Puna Miner, but given the angle the bird is at and the subtlety of the tail coloration as a field mark, I am not 100%. A photo of the chest would be conclusive.
The flycatcher isn't Mouse-colored, the yellow on the rump is enough to say that. It looks to me most like a Myiopagis type Elaenia. It's hard to see the wing and see if there are wing bars, maybe Forest or Greenish Elaenia. More photos would help.
Great Rufous Woodcreeper indeed.
Second set of photos:
Rufous-naped Ground-Tyrants and Black-hooded Sierra-Finches
Third set of photos:
Great Thrush, Chiguanco Thrush, Saffron Finch (heavy bill, location) , Peruvian Sierra-Finch
Last set of photos:
Both Finches look ok for Greenish over Puna or Bright-rumped. The first one definitely. The second I think as well but it's been a while since I've compared those birds... and yes, Vermilion Flycatcher.

There are a handful of subsp/breeding populations, the birds in Bolivia / N Arg / Paraguay / S Brazil are generally pretty pale bellied like this. I think the brighter / redder females are W of the Andes?

The Miner is certainly Puna Miner - clean breast and the tail is obviously rufous and not creamy.
The Canastero has to be Cordilleran not Maquis based upon location. Just a minor correction - it is Salar de Uyuni, not Solar
Thank you for the help!! Sure, Salar, sorry.... ))))
And what do you think about Greenish Finches? Both are Greenish?
