White-throated Shrike-Tanager.
The Caribbean side has a yellow back/rump as pictured in Stiles & Skutch Birds of Costa Rica (Plate 47 #1) and Garrigues/Dean The Birds of Costa Rica p.283.
But the Pacific side has a black back/rump as in your picture.

Seen at Big Island Country Club (Now Makani) on Big Island early April. Seems finchy with sharp yellow/white chest demarction. But face and beak not good for Palila. Bad shape & no eye ring for White-eye. No facial of chest markings for Yellow-fronted Canary or Saffron Finch. Odd well-demarcated light rear cap.

1. Probably Solitary Sandpiper, but that tail barring really speaks to Spotted. Both have spots on back. Facial pattern makes it a prob Solitary.
2. Northern Shoveler. Nothing else with that profile.
3. Looks like Mallards in back. Wood Duck in front.
4. Odd sparrow. That is a crazy long tail. Has to be a trick of the eye, or weird angle or something. Any additional pic would help.

I agree. White tail-tip is the give-away.

First thought was Fulvous Whistling-Duck with that long, stretched neck, but no plumage has that side pattern. Looks to me like female Northern Pintail. The one stretching gives a distorted body shape.

1. Lincoln's Sparrow - Nothing else has that crisp black on brown chest pattern.
2. Possibly Bay-breasted, but total lack of any eye stripe is unusual. I'd vote Chestnut-sided Warbler. - c.f. Peterson Warblers first fall Chestnut-sided Warbler p. 239

Looks like Dusky Flycatcher. Maybe first year. Rounded head. Short primary projection (as far as i can see). Primaries w/low-contrast striping.
A pic w/a natural lie of the primaries showing a long projection may turn this into a Hammond's Flycatcher, but that head is very round.

Yeah, i could see that. Just never noticed one before with such a distinctive wanna-be-a-Nashville/Connecticut/Magillivray's gray hood.
Photo search sure shows some birds with that, though. Thanks.
