Hello is it posable to ID these Humming birds photographed recently in Drakes Bay, Costa Rica. Im not sure if the first one loaded correctly.

First one is a hermit, presumably long-billed.
Second is a Rufous-tailed hummer; I have assumed you are on the pacific side which would exclude the Plumeleteer.
Not sure about the female in image 3

I think female crowned woodnymph. Violet headed hummingbird with similar plumage has a shorter bill

It is surprising how much the females I find online differ in coloration.

However, none of these have green below the bill/forward of the eye which this image seems to have?

Well I'm not absolutely certain of the id. It's not an emerald (e.g. bill wrong), and there are relatively few possibilities according to ebird.

I don't see green below the bill in the op pics. Wrt green above, here are 2 woodnymphs with this:

For me the shade of green is a bigger problem. Woodnymph generally shows a bluish green but the pics show a matt green.

Woodnymph remains my best bet...
