Hi I have three birds I cannot identify from a recent trip to Colombia. Sorry for the poor quality photos.

Bird 1: This bird was seen near the beach in Cartagena.

Bird 2: This bird was seen at Monserrate in Bogota.

Bird 3: This bird was also seen at Monserrate in Bogota. It looked like a humming bird, but I am a novice so I would not know.

Thank you all for your time and expertise!

Can't see any Hummers with such a long tail and, long bill?

3 Has to be Great Thrush which is seems comes with or without an eye ring?

Thanks Andy!

There were signs up on at the monastery for various birds that frequent the location where I saw the last bird. I believe two signs were for the Black-tailed Trainbearer and the "colibri paramuno" (google calls it Shining sunbeam) but I am not sure either fits the bill, well, maybe the Trainbearer....

Think thrush without a well-developed eye ring should be immature. The hummer is female black-tailed train-bearer, I believe, based on fairly short tail (for this species) and almost entirely dark tail

Surely the bill is way too long or am I looking at this wrong, that's not the bill in front of it?

No wonder I couldn't ID it!

In the flight photo there's a twig that could be mistaken for the bill, Andy. I think The Fern has it right.

Not disputing it, pointing out that I was mislead by what I thought was the bill.

Had that not been the case, I'd have reached the same conclusion.
