Carara area, Costa Rica, mid-June (1 Viewer)

Hello, I think this is the last batch from my excellent trip through Costa Rica (222 species and counting!). I'd love some help definitively IDing these. All are from Lapas Jungle Lodge, just outside of Carara National Park, except for the one labeled CNP, which was inside the park, and the three from Manuel Antonio NP (labeled MA). Thank you!

Carara 1, Tropical Kingbird?
Carara 3, Flycatcher sp?
Carara 4, Common Tody-Flycatcher?
Carara 6, Ruddy-tailed Flycatcher?
Carara 8
Carara 9
CNP 1, hummingbird sp.
MA 1, Tropical Kingbird?
MA 2, Chestnut-backed Antbird?
MA 3, Blackthroated trogon, based on yellow bill, though head looks blue

1 (carara 8) : Piratic Flycatcher
4 (carara 4) : Common Tody-Flycatcher
5 (carara 3) : Social Flycatcher
6 (carara 1) : Social Flycatcher
10 (MA 1) : Tropical Kingbird
 
MA2: y
Cnp1: band-tailed barbthroat
Ma3: y, despite the blue appearance as I think the eye ring is blue (if not then it's gartered). Play with the colours to confirm bill and eye ring colour

Thanks for the ID help. I'm unsure about the Piratic. I found some more images--what do you think?

Curious if anyone has thoughts about the hummer (CNP 1) or what I think might be a Ruddy-tailed Flycatcher (Carara 6)?
 
For Carara 6, check Sulphur-rumped and Black-tailed Flycatchers
CNP 1 is a hermit, I am thinking Band-tailed Barbthroat is the best fit.

Yes, that looks right for the flycatchers, thanks! Not 100% certain which one, though leaning towards sulpher-rumped, as it looks like it has a darker chest. As for CNP 1, I think that looks the closest. Here are a couple photos of another individual, seen a bit later in the day.
