I'm guessing Least Flycatcher on this one. The yellow and the long tail are causing me to question that...

Agree with female Black-throated Blue.
The second is a Great-crested Flycatcher - gray breast, yellow belly, brownish wings and tail.

The orange lower mandible and eye-ring doesn't fit with Great Crested. I believe it's an Empidonax, possibly an odd-looking Least.

Thanks. The Black-throated Blue was driving me nuts. And now I know why eBird has the category of Empidonax on the checklist. ;)
