June 3, Quito, Ecuador birds, Part II (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I took these pictures in the cloud forest around Quito. To be precise, on a high to Pacay Waterfall in the cloud forest northwest of Quito.

Here are my thoughts:

1. I apologize for the terrible photo. This is the only photo I have of a bird skulking in the understory. The light was dim and there were many branches and shrubs, this is the only photo I got. No idea what it is.
2. I am not sure, but Black-capped tyrannulet is the closet I came up with
3. I am not sure; I have a feeling that it is a flycatcher as well, but I am not sure.
4-5: there were taken 2 minutes apart. I think they are the same bird, but I am now not sure. I think it is a violetear, maybe Lesser Violetear (or is it Sparkling?).

What do you think?

Thanks in advance,
Howard

I get the feeling 4 is more green than violet at the chin == lesser Ve. (compare https://www.birdforum.net/opus/Sparkling_Violetear)

First photo looks like a Tapaculo, which won't be identifiable to species unless you recorded the voice

Then Golden-crowned Flycatcher, Slaty-backed Chat-Tyrant, Lesser Violetear (per Niels's comment about the chin), Long-tailed or Violet-tailed Sylph, not sure we can see enough to say which one...
