There are no Scaly-throatd Foliage-gleaner records in that area according to ebird
The same with White-shouldered Antshrike
 
Going by eBird taxonomy:
1. Montane Foliage-Gleaner
2. White-lored Warbler
3. Crowned Woodnymph
4. Rusty Flowerpiercer (although White-sided is possible in the area and the females of both species are pretty similar)
5. Pale-breasted Thrush
6. Bicolored Wren
7. Hard to tell, the lack of a tail could indicate a young bird. If it is a young Antshrike, then the option for the area would be Uniform Antshrike, but get a second opinion.

4. Rusty Flowerpiercer (although White-sided is possible in the area and the females of both species are pretty similar)
2. Not seeing white lores or whitish arc above the eye. Suggest grey-throated better (but rare)
4 contrary to my field guide, I agree this is rusty. The white flight feather fringes are distinctive, I think.

Gray-throated is not found in the Santa Marta mountains, the nearest site is in the Colombia/Venezuela border in Perija.

The white lore is there, just that the picture is a bit shaky and not the best lighting conditions.

If the poster uploads it to eBird as Gray-throated from that location, the regional reviewer will likely say the same. They are in the same genus, but one is a common endemic of the area, while the other is found in a different mountain/sierra, where it is considered an uncommon species.

Yes: sorry I misinterpreted the map in my guide.
 
1. Montane Foliage-gleaner
2. White-lored Warbler - in addition to the range discrepancy, Grey-throated has a grey hood that extends further down the chest
3. male Crowned Woodnymph
4. female Rusty Flowerpiercer - pale base to lower mandible and white (-ish) edgeing on tertials and wing coverts
5. Pale-breasted Thrush
6. Bicolored Wren
7. female White-sided Flowerpiercer - I think the angle of the photo is obscuring the actual bill shape, otherwise plain brown small bird in their favourite flowers
