Yes, 3 is a snipe - and as it is in Tuscon, not Eurasia, I think it's actually IDable. The bat is from downtown Melbourne - here I am not sure if a reliable ID is possible in fact but we just know what species is in the colony.
 
Singapore, December last year. I'm fairly sure of the ID (through binoculars) but my snapshot, from a long way away, is distinctly poorer than what I saw through the binos. Anyone fancy having a go?

Possible hint: near the top of a 40-storey building.

This was a Loggerhead Shrike in Massachusetts last year. Wanted to upload something as it was a rarity for the area, despite it being barely discernible.

fairly sure of the ID
So not a Blue-and-white or Zappy's Flycatcher.

Other blueish flycatchers in range are (from eBird) Siberian Blue Robin, Chinese Blue Flycatcher and Blue Rock Thrush. You seem to be hinting at the last option (although it's marked as rare).
Possible hint: near the top of a 40-storey building.

If it's not close, then I don't know--it's a very long shot anyway.
