1) White-lined Tanager.
2) Are you sure it was photographed in the Amazon? If so, it would be an escapee: Lesser Antillean Bullfinch. I don't have any experiance with this Antillean species, but I suspect the eye-brow is too limited for Greater Antillean Bullfinch (?).
3) Yellow-headed Caracara.
4) Orange-fronted Yellow-Finch.
5) Done in your other post.
Where is Devils Island? I've spend a fairly significant amount of time in the Amazon, and haven't heard of it before.

Correction
Devils Island is a small group of 3 islands 12 miles off the coast of French Guyana. They were made famous by the film "papillion"
You were quite right the bullfinch photo was taken on someones bird feeder on St Barts

That confirms Lesser AB (no Greater AB's there).
Lesser Antillean Bullfinch is OK with red in front of the eye, on Greater AB, the red is supposed to continue behind the eye. I have plenty of experience with LAB, not yet with GAB. Our local birds here in Dominica have less red in front of the eye than this image, and are less grey at the rear flank.
