Went for a hike yesterday morning in Beaver Creek, CO. Lighting was pretty rough so couldn't get too many good shots. Have a few birds I'm trying to confirm or ID. Wondering what yall are seeing. I'm thinking bird 1 is a female Pine Grosbeak and bird 5 is a male. Bird 2 I'm thinking Western Warbling Vireo. Bird 3 I'm thinking maybe a Lesser Goldfinch but not confident based on the photo. Bird 4 I'm really not sure and not sure it's identifiable from that photo. Thanks!

Spotted undertail coverts on Pic 4 should rule out all but Worm-eating and Black-and-white for warblers, which this bird obviously isn't. I'm struggling to come up with something else though.

Just glad to know I wasn't the only one who went cross eyed on 4.

I like Orange crowned for 4, the belly of the bird shows similar spotting as the undertail coverts maybe it's wet or just simply bedrageled or molting?
