Could #2 be a dusky warbler ? It is supposed to have a buffy or light greyish breast though, not almost white as on the picture.

Can Dusky W have such dark toes?

Yes, the leg colour is quite variable. I think this does look like a Dusky Warbler, but it would be useful seeing some more photos from another angle.

The face pattern did look like Dusky to me but I excluded it because I always thought that it would have much lighter coloured legs and usually a dark tipped lower mandible. A quick online photo search proved me wrong. I guess the fact that these little skulkers are not normally seen from below didn't help here. The stepped tail (is 'stepped' the correct word to use here?) fits Dusky as well. I found this one very puzzling...

Unfortunately, these were the only photographs I could get from that bird.
Thank you for your comments.

That's definitely a Dusky Warbler.
