thanks to all of you that are helping me ID some of the birds I saw in my first trip to Costa Rica. You guys are terrific.

here are some pictures that were not so good but I hope that may ring a bell to some of you. Any comment to any picture may help.

Thanks in advance.

all taken near El Arenal area last week.

1.Plain Xenops??
2. some kind of Oriole but all that I can think of would be out of range
3 and 4. are from the same individual but I fail to see what species

1 Plain Xenops
2 Female Passerini's?
3-4 Look like Costa Rican / Black-eared Warbler, split from Three-striped

The last looks better for a Golden-crowned Warbler IMO.

I did swing between the two and was swayed by the white stripe on the head but I could easily be convinced I'm wrong.

Golden-crowned- the photo is a good capture of the stripes on the head, look more pronounced than when seen in the field, but Costa Rican is not all yellow below, has bolder stripes on head, and doesn't have those blue-gray upperparts. Also, Costa Rican doesn't occur at Arenal except maybe in highest parts of Skytrek.
