OK, again all Western Montana. First two were in the past 2 months, both Rufus I think.

Final three I'm not sure about--all from May-July. Is there a Broad tailed or Black chinned in there?

Thanks!

I’d probably go all rufous, but differentiating female rufous from broad-tailed is extremely difficult. Range I think favors rufous though.
 
Third photo (first female) looks like a rufous to me judging by the tail. Other two females I'm not so sure.
