Hi, can I get some feedback on what type of motmots these are...

Currently I'm thinking...

1. Broad-billed (Panama, Pipeline)
2. Blue Crowned (Panama, Gamboa)
3. Rufous (Panama, Pipeline)
4. Lesson's (Costa Rica, Monteverde)
5. ? (Central Belize)

Many thanks!

2 is whooping I think (blue-crowned is old taxonomy..?). No black border to blue crown
5 also Lesson's (black lower border to blue crown)

Regarding 2: Whooping is the expected bird around the Canal, Lesson's starts another 100 km to the west of there.
