Okay, I just posted these and knew they were fairly easy, but this is ridiculous.
The previous selections were viewed too difficult, but these were entirely too easy.
Golf is a Warbling Vireo
Hotel is a Magnolia Warbler
See photos in photography section.

I'm delighted that so many of you have ventured an opinion on this mystery BIRD PORTRAITS
thread. The level of skill is so high among most of you that I suffer to uncover a photo snippet
worthy of your collective talents. I shall endeavour to post a few more offerings and let this
game (of sorts) wind down by the end of the year, including perhaps one more commentary
in the form of a topic thread in early December. I had hoped that other members with greater
photographic experience would have taken my cue and proposed their own threads with commensurate
topical commentary, but for my part, I've contributed what little I could device to revitalize this forum
and admit to be pleased with the recent uptick of interest.
Now, to respond to your guesses I see correct ID's to validate for Mike, November and Oscar .
Mike is a Common Redpoll
November is a Downy Woodpecker
Oscar is a (male) Rose-breasted Grosbeak
There is no fooling the pro's.
Full photo of each is posted in the Bird Photography section.

Quebec - Blue-gray Gnatcatcher?
-
Correct, Quebec is a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher

Those white tail edges can only be a few things.
-
Papa a Killdeer?
-
Papa is not a killdeer, but it is a male.
I've expanded the image to help.
-
Is Papa a hooded merganser?
-
Sorry, Papa is NOT a Hooded Merganser.
-
papa is a very tricky one (a bit evil even) ...i think the black might be shadows not colour ...a eclipse common merganser neck shot?
-
A bit evil you say, ... argh, ya don't sigh.
If you think them clues are evil, well ye have seen nottin yet me matey.
Wait till ye see me new incarnation of this feature ... the ART HOUSE remake.
You's be seeing red afore my spell here is quit. I promise ye that ye scallywags.
But before I does launch me new version ye must guess the provenance of snippet papa.
I tell's ye what, just to let ye all know that I feels no satisfaction in wallowing in the
warm slush of deception, I will expand the view of papa a bit more toward bonafide
recognition in order to put ye out of your misery.
-
Papa - a Long-tailed Duck by chance?
-
Yeah, it fits. Well, I've never seen one.
-
Papa - a Long-tailed Duck by chance?
agreed..the brownish colour of the cheek patch really threw me...didn't realize they weren't always almost all black
-
Papa is a Longtailed duck photographed at Bluffer's Park
while romancing the narrow isthmus of the protected bay
while ensconced between a rock and a hard place (another rock).
