I'd say that 1 is a Ruddy Treerunner if in range?
Not in range (montane according to Vallely), and with white unmarked throat rather than malar, also with clear whitish supercilum.


Edit: no I misinterpreted the photo ! It's the super that we're seeing and it's buffy. So should be the woodcreeper.

(Still not the treerunner as that doesn't have the streaking)

Thanks everyone 2 out of 3 is good for me. Did try the first bird in Merlin and it suggested a Wedge-billed woodcreeper but I dont have a lot of confidence with Merlin

Sometimes it's right. After considering, (and interpreting the photo correctly), I'm reasonably sure that's what it is
