Trying to ID these ones too.

1) ??? Resembles female Vermilion Flycatcher but lacks streaking on breast and white eye-brow. Can't find anything better though.

2) Cassin's Kingbird

3) Black Phoebe

4) The Vermilion Flycatcher of the title

Probably correct. This bird has a lot lighter coloured head/chest than the picture of Say's Phoebe in my National Geographic field guide.

Thanks to all. I thought the Kingbird was a Western but another photo shows the pale wing coverts so Cassin's it is.
