Finally, I turned up 3 last birds I couldn't identify.
They are all from Hormiguero, just south of Xpujil - Luis Zurita of Calakmul Adventures guided us along the narrow road to the village, and on to the ruins.

Bird 1 - no clue
Bird 2 - Is this just a tropical mockingbird?
Bird 3 - is this a common yellowthroat?

Hi, no need to apologize; I think we all enjoy the challenge!
I'm thinking 1 is White-collared (Morelet's) Seedeater and 2 might be White-throated Thrush. As for no.3: to me the bill looks too big for a warbler - I'm thinking vireo on this one. Did you happen to see two wing bars? I think it might be Mangrove Vireo (not only found in mangroves!)
 
1. Probably White-collared (or Morrelet's) Seedeater. Bird is obscure but wing pattern looks okay, although spiky tail feathers look more like a Bobolink.
2. Clay-colored Thrush
3. I think that there is a broad yellow fore-supercilium under that shadow, so it could be Yellow as Neils suggested or possibly Golden-browed Warbler, although Eildert's suggestion of Mangrove Vireo would certainly fit the yellow loral pattern.
