Hey guys,

sorry for the really bad pics. These birds were only seen for a short time and also been really concealed. Maybe anyone can give a hint? I´m not sure if they are even possible to identify..

#1: This colorful little bird was seen only from behind in the trees next to Chagres river in Gamboa
#2: Black crowned tityra maybe? Pipeline road Gamboa
#3: Not many rufous birds in Panama, but still no clue about this hidden fellow. Mangroves near Colon town.
#4: Maybe some cotinga? Volcan Baru at around 2200m
#5: I´m out on this one (maybe some wren?). Volcan Baru at around 2500m
#6: No clue?? Quetzal trail near Boquete at around 2100m

Woodpecker is presumably Hairy.

#2 has a Puffbird feel to me, but no collar so IDK

1 looks like it could be Common Tody Flycatcher, 2 is a Tityra and the pale (pinkish?) bill base makes it Masked.

4 looks Elaenia-ish to me.
6 I guess it's a Mountain Thrush

Agree 1 looks a Common Tody-fl, 2 is a Tityra, 3 looks a cuckoo, 5 a Hairy Woodpecker

Agree 4 looks like an Elaenia. Also 3 could be a Cuckoo.

Looks to have a lot of grey on the underparts but higher up toward the neck than I'd expect on Little and I've seen Squirrel Cuckoo in mangroves.

Agree with Common Tody Fly for #1 and Squirrel Cuckoo for #3.

Why do I see 5 have a much smaller bill than any woodpecker? Looks more like a warbler or Bananaquit bill to me
