Hi,

these ones shouldn´t be too hard I guess. Couldn´t find them in the book though.. any help?

#1: Some finch (saffron??) seen singing on top of the Biomuseo in Panama City
#2: Gray breasted martins? In Gamboa near the Channel
#3: Southern rough winged or cliff swallow? Gamboa
#4: Looks like some kind of barbet? In Boquete at the foot of Volcan Baru (~2000m)
#5: Also barbet like. Quetzal trail, Boquete (~2100m)
#6: Distinctive red legs. But bill´s not right for honeycreeper.. seen on isla Bastimentos, Bocas del toro archipelago

#3 should be Cliff Swallow (of your two choices).

#6 looks similar to a female White-bearded Manakin.

Agree on Manakin (sp.) for #6.
I think you need to check the pages for Tanagers re no 4. (I have no books with me at the moment).

1 - looks ok for Saffron Finch
2 - look more like Martins but with the quality of the photo and just looking at it quickly not sure I'd 100% rule out Souther Rough-winged Swallow.
3 - Cliff Swallow looks fine
4 - female Euphonia, I don't have a guide handy or remember the females well, but several spp are going to be possible there, exact location/elevation/habitat would help, though so would a field guide
5 - Prong-billed Barbet
6 - White-collared or Golden-collared Manakin. I don't recall if females are separable, and don't know if one is more expected at that site. Should be both in range or very close to in range there.
