Some Cuba birds I can't indentify

Maybe you guys can help? All taken with a pocket camera.

Sorry I can't be of much help in identifying these rare birds, but your camera captured some striking images of these birds at wing. Also, your entrance into Cuba is a marvel. Congratulations, and best of luck bird-questing.

The last one is almost certainly a Common Ground Dove. I have seen this bird in California, but it is common to Florida, so proabably Cuba as well.

Thanks for the replies. I will ask Danny to post them on the site. The was a suggestion of Cuban Kite for one of the photos.

Photos 1 and 2 are almost certainly Northern Mockingbird. Photo 7 is an American Redstart.

The gull photos are interesting, possibly Bonapare's Gull.
