Hello,

I have one more batch of pics from Yucatan, Mexico that I am not sure about. Can someone help id them? Click on the links to see the pictures:

Bird 1 - from Coba. Not sure which finch it is.

The rest of the birds are from Camino Vigia Chico next to Sian Ka'an:
Bird 2: White-eyed vireo?

Bird 3?

Bird 4?

Bird 5 - Least flycatcher?

Bird 6 - which flycatcher?

Bird 7?

Bird 8 - sorry for the poor image. Is this a seedeater of some sort?
 
I'd go for
1 Indigo Bunting
2
3 Greenish Elaenia
4 Common Yellowthroat
5 Least Flycatcher
6 Least Flycatcher
7 Olivaceous Woodcreeper
8 Blue Bunting

Get more opinions though
 
I probably should not write this, but no 2 looks like a smaller bird with a smaller bill than the species that has been proposed.

Any more photos?

Niels I think we're just seeing the bill in profile and perhaps not all of it. Other possible/likely smallish flycatchers there are N Beardless Tyrannulet, Greenish Elaenia, Northern Bentbill, Eye-ringed Flatbill, Stub-tailed Spadebill, Tropical Pewee, and Least Flycatcher. I think we can throw out Myiarchus types and larger :) To me it's definitely not a vireo or warbler or tanager. The yellow breast, yellow tufts at the leading edge of the wing, greyish head, pale eye, pale lores, lack of crest, and tail-length all look good for the Tolmomyias. Only other remotely close birds would be Greenish Elaenia (should have longer tail and dark eye and more of an eye stripe) or N Beardless Tyrannulet (which should be greyer and crested).
