Lemon-rumped Tanager
Woodnymph or Violet-bellied Hummingbird?
Rufous Mourner or Rufous Piha, I get more of a mourner gest. from this one but not sure
Black Phoebe
Green Honeycreeper and ?
 
Think Green-crowned Woodnymph gets my vote. Don't think violet-bellied is in range; steely-vented would have red in the bill, I believe. For 3, suggest rufous mourner. The photo shows all of the following i think (from the Cornell neotropical birds website) : "some-what darker rufous crown and darker brown wings edged with cinnamon rufous. The iris is brown; bill, which has a hooked tip, is black at the tip with a paler base"
 
3 / Rufous Mourner. There is a twig in front of it but still it appears to have a bill too long and thin for the mourner.

2 / Hummingbird. Having been living in Cali, I've seen a bunch of Steely-vented Hummingbirds daily, it is abundant. Plumage is terribly variable and I got stuck many times with them. For sure, lower mandible is not always red. The blue "belt" of op bird disturbs me though, and the wings really look long, but hard to judge on this single short. I'm not sure, but the default species is Steely-vented and it can be one for me.

1 / Flame-rumped Tanager. Formerly a subspecies of Lemon-rumped Tanager, Flame-rumped is common around Cali while Lemon-rumped does not occur.
