Some from near Salvador, Brazil (1 Viewer)

[Southern Viking]

Hi all, some photos taken by my Mum about a month ago or less in Brazil, Salvadore area, some on Morro Sao Paulo.

The woodpecker I think is Crimson-crested rather than Lineated?
The kingfisher - is it Ringed Kingfisher?
The parakeet - doesn't look a million miles away from Monk Parakeet but I don't really know (clearly)
The powder blue bird looks like a Blue-gray Tanager but no idea if they're found there
The swallow closest I can get is White-winged, which she also saw in Peru
The hummer - Planalto Hermit?
The thrush - Rufous-bellied Thrush?
The remaining one (7497 photo reference) I have no idea

One last one from this set if I may? Is this a Tropical Mockingbird?

Yes

Yes

I had a doubt with the striped flancs, what makes the difference with Chalk-browed so obvious for you please ?

It's a good point and admit I didn't pay proper attention to those stripes. However, mantle and general colour is pale grey whereas (afaik) chalk-browed should be dark brown. The dark line through the eye is not prominent whereas it always is for chalk-browed (making a strong distinction with the "chalk-brow", the supercilium). The eye here is bright (orange) which tropical can show:

[a quick look at Macauley images of chalk-browed suggest it can be pale eyed but perhaps not ever red/orange]

I assume the striped flanks indicate immaturity:

although young chalk-browed show this too:
