Thanks

I think the first is White-necked Jacobin.

The second birds shows a post ocular spot which I think rules out all similar species other than Fiery-throated?

Fiery throated is not there I think. Should be further west.

Edit: it's a male garden emerald

Was wondering about Garden Emerald. Having a job to come up with anything else.

That would have been my choice had I not ruled that out on the post ocular visible in pic 2?

First bird is young male/old female White-necked Jacobin.

The very straight bill on the second bird rules out any of the other comparable lowland/foothill hummers except Garden Emerald. Given how small/indistinct the "post ocular" spot is I think it could just be an artifact of the angle.

Just to pile on that the second bird is definitely a Chlorostilbon, and on range that would be Garden Emerald as everyone else has said. For this genus I think the name Emerald is really well applied. Yhe body coloration of male Chlorostilbon spp is really quite simmering / oily emerald green, pretty distinctive.
