Help with some IDs (1 Viewer)

[DeanLeverett]

Hello everyone
I undertook a second birding trip to Costa Rica in March/Apr this year, and saw and photographed some amazing birds (inc. Azure-hooded Jay, Prong-billed Barbet, Frigatebird ...as well as some of the more usual suspects). I'm relatively OK with IDs...but I have few photographs that I need confirmation on - either because there are lots of similar looking species or because the photo isn't particularly great (but is the only one I have...so wanted to be sure it wasn't something interesting before deleting).
I've attempted an ID for most of them, but for a small number I have no idea.
The first batch of 10 are attached. My attempted ID and location information below.
Thanks a million in advance of any help/ advice.
4298: Grey-capped Flycatcher?, Carara

4470: Tropical Pewee?, Carara
5479: Charming Hummingbird?, Carara

5651: Blue-black Grosbeak?, Carara
4607: Bullock's Oriole?, Carara
4643: Buff-rumped Warbler?, Carara
4756: Black-hooded Antshrike?, Carara
4814: Least Sandpiper?, Tarcoles River

Hi Dean and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. Some great pictures there - someone will no doubt be along pretty soon to help you sort them all out.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

Thanks Delia - much appreciated.

Looking forward to getting more involved, and of course happy to share pics of other stuff if people are interested.

We're always happy to see pictures Dean. Don't forget we have a Gallery here where you can upload 3 pictures per day.

Your images may be used in our Opus project too. This is an example of one of the articles, which might interest you: Bullock's Oriole - BirdForum Opus

Welcome to birdforum!
I would agree on this one:
5651: Blue-black Grosbeak?, Carara
and I think you are right on the antshrike.

4643 looks like black-tailed or sulphur-rumped flycatcher to me. BrWa would have inner half of the tail buff.

Generally, id requests get more looks in the ID section of birdforum. Maybe Delia can move this thread there?

@delia todd - is it possible to move the thread?

4814. Yes, least sandpiper. Bill shape.

Grey-capped flycatchers are correct (e.g. whitish eyes).

Tropical pewee is probably right.

The hummer isn't charming. I'm not sure what it is: looks somewhat like female crowned woodnymph (white tail tips).

The oriole is most likely streak-backed based on 2-toned bill and dark tail underside with white spots (bullocks is a vagrant and it's not the most common, Baltimore).

We can just about see the yellow legs on the sandpiper

General tip... Best to start a new thread for each batch of photos, otherwise comments overlap and life gets very complicated 🤔😉
But you've started this one so let's finish 👍🏻

5008: Bank Swallow?
- Let's find another couple facing the other way...
5905: Spotted Sandpiper?
- Si.
6417: Tennessee Warbler?
- Looks quite possible.
6663: Warbling Vireo?
- Leaf in the way of its bill, so I'll keep off that one.
7083: Bank Swallow?
- More like whichever the most-likely local rough-winged swallow is.
