Two things can help you to distinguish between the two ground thrushes:

altitude - Russet-tailed tend to occur at low altitudes and Bassian at high altitudes - with obviously a fair degree of overlap; and

the presence or absence of white in the outer tail feathers.

I think 5. is a Large billed scrubwren. Hard to say from the picture but thornbills dont tend to hold their tail up so much. Also the thornbills tend to be a bit more streaked on the face, lighter/yellowish vent and faint white tips to the tail feathers. And just guessing but the bill looks more Scrubwren style.

Could be completely wrong though.
