4 ? Cordilleran is a good candidate but not sure

1 and 2 look better for Hammond’s in my opinion. Tiny bill and notched tail, and lacking a contrasting white throat. I do not think 4 is a Cordilleran. Cordilleran has a much more pronounced eyering, extending at the rear. It also is more greenish headed, often with a crested appearance. 4 looks better for least flycatcher IMO.

Thanks everyone--these are some of the most challenging birds to ID as far as I can see.
