Well, I guess you are a beginner no more.
Nailed most of them.
Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Theta, Iota and Mu are correct
Epsilon and Kappa are close calls.
Well done.
The problem with this game is that as soon as a salient feature
appears on the photo snippet the ID is assured. Without such a
feature it would be near impossible.
Clearly, you learn REAL fast.
Must be that artistic eye ... attention to detail.

Yes, Chipping sparrow is correct. I'm even thinking vampire sparrow.
Great crested flycatcher is also correct.

Thanks

Ipsilon is a Yellow-bellied flycatcher
Delta is not a Stilt sandpiper, but it is a shorebird.

Ally, it is not a Rock sandpiper but it is standing on a rock.
The non-breeding (summer) version of this shorebird is very light in colour
and nothing like it appears here ... taken in late May.
