Drewesque started following Female Scarlet or Summer Tanager?, Help With Hawk ID, Blueish Bird—maybe trick of light—has me stumped and 3 others

Having a difficult time with this one. I feel like it is a Swainson’s Hawk, but color and facial markings don’t seem quite right for it unless it is a juvenile. Thanks in advance! Taken in Motley County, TX on September 6, 2020.

White Ibis Confirmation?

Thank you! -
Saw this flock from quite a ways away. Pretty certain they are White Ibis but seeking confirmation. Observed today June 13, 2020 in East Texas (Smith County).

Bird with Yellow Breast ID - TX

Unless a juvenile’s behavior is vastly different than an adult, hopping along the ground does not sound right at all for a flycatcher. -

Sparrow size -
Foremost, I am loath to post pictures of such poor quality. I will spare you the several excuses for why they are bad. We spotted this one at dusk—solitary and hopping along the ground in a field. Its breast is yellow with dark grayish head and back. I included the pathetic attempt with the flash so the wing feathers can be seen from a posterior view. Taken yesterday in East Texas (Smith County).

What of the white “collar” around the neck?

Observed in East Texas (Gregg County) on April 1. Approximately crow-size.

Female Scarlet or Summer Tanager?
Drewesque posted a topic in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Photos taken today (as you can tell--shooting against sunlight) in Northeast Texas (Marion County). I'm leaning toward Scarlet Tanager--body is more drab and more contrast between body color and wing color. Also appears to have a slightly more slender bill. -
