[QUOTE="Rasmus Boegh, post: 1349293, member: 1146"] In addition to total length, wing & bill are the ones to go for. That said, while I have measurements for a large percentage of the South American woodcreepers, I'm missing measurements for most Central American. Regardless, it is also worth checking details of markings on mantle and chest/belly (extend, shape, detail [e.g. spots with/without dark edges] of streaks/spots/bars). For the others, the 1st is actually a female Blue Dacnis (which indeed looks quite similar to a female Green Honeycreeper, but with diff. bill and blue-tinged head) and the last is an Opal-rumped Tanager ssp. cyanomelaena (= "Silvery-breasted Tanager").
