Try Crimson-fronted Parakeet for 3, 4 seems to be a Tanager to me.

1. with the red on the front looks like a Red-lored Parrot for me
2. looks like a Grey-capped Flycatcher to me
3. Crimson-fronted Parakeet
4. Without location it could be a juvenile Passerini's or Cherrie's Tanager

Sorry my mistake all birds seen in the Drakes Bay Area. Mike.

Being on the Pacific side, then it should be Cherrie's Tanager

Thank you

Mike.

For me, agreed, Red-lored Parrot (1) & Crimson-fronted Parakeet (3). Crimson-rumped Tanager (4 - Cherrie's & Passerini's Tanagers are currently lumped in both IOC & Clements ... would have been "Cherrie's" prior to that). Flycatcher (2) could be Gray-capped - and may just be the light/exposure - but looks very plain faced & I can't be sure it's not just a Tropical Kingbird.

The flycatcher is definitely not a Tropical Kingbird. Just glancing on my phone I’m not sure I can say it is Gray-crowned and not just a overexposed Social. Not a Great Kiskadee though.

Bill is substantially too big for social flycatcher.

Bill is substantially too big for social flycatcher.

Does Gray-capped (pardon my error typing Gray-crowned earlier) reliably have a larger bill than Social? I don’t see any of the N subspecies of Social Fly much anymore. Admittedly I mostly ID these birds by ear or by plumage features that aren’t bill size so I don’t think I’ve thought about it before.
