Any help appreciated.
Image G1 is the only one I have of this bird, and I completely understand if it is impossible.

There is almost two minutes between G2 and G3, 15 seconds to G4a and one second between that and G4b -- therefore G4a and G4b are presumably the same bird, associated with the same branch.
My best guess here is pale-tipped tyrannulet, but I may be overlooking something.

Bananaquit and Pale-tipped Tyrannulet/Inezia are correct. G2 is a little tougher to be certain that it isn't Northern Scrub-flycatcher which tend to perch more vertical. However, the brightness and extensiveness of the yellow coming up onto the sides of the chest are a point against that species so I would lean towards the Inezia for this one as well.
 
Thank you both. Those are both species I know I saw that day. Being sure of a photo is sometimes harder.
