Rosy-Finches, Sandia Crest

Mostly Black Rosy-Finches.

I had a surprisingly hard time telling apart Gray-crowned and Brown-capped Rosy-Finches. There's an obvious Gray-crowned perched on the back side of the platform. But what are the birds on the right and front sides? Another in the back may not be identificable in this shot. Better viewed at original size.

Vireo philadelphicus. By far the most satisfying and conclusive look I've ever gotten of this species.

Buffy flanks were visible even without binoculars, so I'm tempted to call this one of the Selasphorus, but I'm not sure if it can be IDed beyond that. Any comments?

These are mostly Black Rosy-Finches, but there's a couple of Brown-capped or Gray-crowned Rosy-Finches in flight as well. One of the few places in the world where all three species can be seen together.
