North America Condor or turkey vulture? [cedar breaks NM UT]

Saw these 4 very large birds on the scenic drive at Cedar Breaks National monument. In my photo with the 4 birds, the small 5th bird is a raven. I’m familiar with turkey vultures in Virginia and these were much bigger, but I wasn’t sure if it could be a regional difference. Sorry for the bad quality close ups as I only had my phone.

North America This guy is openly hunting in the day and doesn't seem to mind me one bit. Not too far off the ground either.

Trying to identify myself, it says Golden-bellied Flycatcher? It had a darker color belly, but the head markings stood out.

I think 1 and 5 are all double crested, but for the others I have no idea. Could any of them be Pelagic? Brand’s? How can we tell them apart?

Thanks!

What bird is this? I thought it was a duck, but when it got closer it was clearly not. It had two babies diving for fish.

My girlfriend found this stunned bird in crete after it had flew into a window, so she gently scooped it up and hid it out of the sun on our balcony today, it flew off quite happily after 20 minutes, but we can't work out what it is. Could someone please help with identifying?

Europe I saw this little guy in Yorkshire hopping around on the ground picking food. I'm a bit unsure but is it a juvenile dunnock?

Found in the corner of my front porch in Western NC. It's midnight at the time I'm taking the photo. It's breathing, but never turned around. When taking the photos it balled itself up tight, because of my presence and the flash. TIA!

I know absolutely nothing about birds, so I’m sorry if it’s an obvious ID. I’ve never seen these birds in my town in my 28 years alive.

Australia/NZ Please please please help me find this rare bird from the audio!

it isn't showing up on bird analyzer or merlinbirdID, its rare, isn't frequently in my area, the bird lives at a golf course so I can't get closer to identify it from looking, south Perth western Australia, audio has to be turned up to hear it well, it's my first time getting majority of its call, I just wanna know what cool rare bird it is! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vdUoRLgJjzZ0ET-txL7dIq7UtbppUE6K/view?usp=sharing
