My guesses:

1. Rufous-Tailed Hummingbird
2. Rufous-Tailed Hummingbird (but looks different to 1?)
3. Ruddy Ground Dove
4. Saltator sp. (I'm guessing a specific ID isnt possible)
5. Thrush sp.??? Seems too bright for Clay-Colored

1) looks a fit for scaly-breasted hummingbird (certainly not rufous-tailed). 2) not sure: would expect rufous-tailed to have a red bill, so not that. For 5) suggest a female ant-tanager of whichever species
 
I think only the Red-Throated Ant-Tanager is expected in this area, and I can't find any variant of that which matches the red-brown back and buff belly seen here :/
 
Cinnamon Becard in that case perhaps? Female Rose-Throated Becard would have a black cap which this bird doesn't seem to, but I think cinnamon fits!

Pretty sure this isn't cinnamon becard. Reasons include the apparent dark feathers on the face (partially concealed), and what appears to be fairly clear yellow unders. My earlier suggestion of a female ant-tanager is wrong because of leg colour (black here, should be pinkish), but otherwise plumage broadly ok (they vary quite a bit in how bright they are). Female rose-throated is the best suggestion so far.
 
I think 2) might be female stripe-tailed hummingbird. It's unclear from the map in Valley &Dyer whether this would be in range but: bill shape/colour fits; I think we can see buff wing panels; wings are long, appears to have a white vent

That was my initial thought but it seens to have a rufous crown?
