4. Yellow-Throated Grassquit? (EDIT: I meant Yellow-Faced :) )
8. Yellow-Bellied Flycatcher?

I think both 2 and 4 are Yellow-faced Grassquit.
1, 8 looks to be an Empidonax flycatcher but not sure which.
3 is a Euphonia but not sure which.
5 looks like a painted bunting

1,8.mountain elaenia
2,4.yellow faced grassquit
3.yellow throated euphonia
5,6.painted bunting
7.white vented euphonia?
 
Thanks a lot to all of you.
Picture 7, as Euphonia, has my bird to long bill, in my opinion.

I can see why Arcadillor suggested a Euphonia [clearly a young bird of whatever species]. I don't think white-vented is in range. If not a Euphonia I'm not sure what it is, but I can see why you're sceptical.
 
NJlarsen are there multiple empids in range then? I was going through some photos from Puntarenas province that were also taken in Dec 2019, and eBird seemed to suggest yellow-bellied was the only likely empid.

There aren't any empids in these pics.

Arcadillor's suggestion of Mountain elaenia seems good to me
 
I should stay away from Flycatchers, one more proof of that. I know that several northern empids are migrants and just assumed some of them might be present in CR at this time.
