Some more from the Manu road. Better pictures this time.

The hummingbird is from the feeders at Wayqecha Biological Station. We had very little time there, so it wasn't possible to sit near the feeders for a while to get a grip on the local population. Not sure what to make of this one.

The second (two pictures) is from in the grounds of Cock-of-the-Rock lodge. Some kind of female seed finch? Is the bill big enough for that?

The third (two pictures) is from the same place, and I've tentatively labelled it as Olive-backed Woodcreeper. Am I right?

Thanks,

Andrea

2-3 looks a seedeater female to me, not sure which one. I'm pretty sure there are no Sicalis finches anywhere near the location.
 
I agree that 2-3 looks like a seedeater. Closest I could come up with was female chestnut - bellied but I'm not convinced...
 
Thanks for your thoughts, everybody. It makes me feel a bit better tha the finch is not straightforward! I have seen Metailtails before, so that one is a bit embarrassing. I can see where you're coming from now. I have more hummingbirds to come.
