Don't have a book with me at the moment, so I can't say too much, but I recognize #2 - Slate-throated Whitestart, Myioborus miniatus.

Also without books at the moment, but 1 looks like possible Mountain Woodcreeper, 3 is a Cacique, and 5 looks like a yellow-finch (Safron?)

It's difficult, but perhaps 4 is northern mountain cacique. This because of blue eye, bluish bill with hint of yellow towards end, bill shape. Should be coupled with yellow on wings and rump but we can't see this. Agree 1 is montane woodcreeper; prominent supercilium, spotted cf striped crown, smallish size, pale bill. Male (northern-think they've just been split) saffron finch for 5: orange forehead, otherwise +/- bright yellow. Agree other suggestions too.
