Monteverde, Costa Rica birds in need of ID (2 Viewers)

[Tonkin14]

I had some great guides in the general Monteverde area . . . and then there are these photos that I took on my own in Monteverde Cloud Forest. I'm hoping for some help with a few that I'm having trouble IDing. Thank you!

4, House Wren?
7, Yellowish Flycatcher?
8, Three-striped or Golden-crowned Warbler?
9, Plain Wren?
3 and 5, two different pigeons--I'm fairly certain that they were different species, though hard to tell from photos
Other two I don't have a good idea of.

7-2 yellowish flycatcher (round head, brown wing bars, white eye ring)
8 got to be Costa Rican warbler
9 looks like house wren

The Costa Rican Warbler doesn't appear in my guidebook, so I looked it up online, and the internet tells me it is also known as the Black-eared Warbeler, which also doesn't appear in my book. After a little more digging, it seems at some point the Costa Rican Warbler split off from the Three-striped Warbler--is this accurate? How do I differentiate the two? I'm also now wondering about my Three-striped ID for this picture, for example.

Check the ranges in these two pages:

Costa Rican Warbler - BirdForum Opus

www.birdforum.net

Three-striped Warbler - BirdForum Opus

www.birdforum.net

you will notice that all Three striped W in CR now have changed identification to CR warbler (so a yes to your question).

Additionally, we have only one image in the gallery for CR warbler, yours would be a welcome addition.

Surprised you've not had more images of this species: we found it quite common (if in low light & rain!) at Monteverde in 2022. I've just loaded a couple of images to the Gallery in case you're still looking for more examples. Chris.

Great! Explanation might very well be related to photographers not being happy about the quality of their shots due to low light.
