Not much to go on, South Florida (1 Viewer)

I'm trying NOT to irritate people here by asking about every little bird I find. I'm getting better at IDs, but still have a longggg way to go, so...

I was in AD Barnes Park in Miami yesterday and got these shots that I can't pinpoint for sure. I know at the time there were these around:

Yellow throated Warblers
Black and White Warblers
Nothern Parulas
Red Eyed Vireos

Can anyone help me with these cruddy and/or non-descript photos, so I can put a name to them?

Any and all help is appreciated

I should add that I thought #1 was a Yellow-throated Warbler, but the hint of more yellow above the beak is throwing me off.

1--Yellow-throated Warbler (yellow-lored type)
2--not sure--perhaps another YTW that has color blocked by odd lighting
3-5--Blue-gray Gnatcatcher

Best,
Jim

SQUEE!!

Thanks J. I know Gnatcatchers and the like are supposedly "common," but as a beginning birder I can't say I've ever seen one, so I'm quite excited

You're welcome. Congrats on the lifer! And don't worry about asking too many ID questions--that's what we're here for!

Cheers,
Jim

Congratulations on the lifer, MerrySlug. I concur with Jim on the identifications.
