Thanks,

I'm a little rusty, but I'm thinking:

1. Brown-crested
2. Ash-throated
3. Hammond's
4. Beardless-Tyranulet
5. Greater Pewee
6. Dusky-capped
7. Dusky-capped
8. Some empid, maybe another Hammond's
9. Hammond's/Dusky. I'm pretty rusty on them, and it's tricky without the primaries visable
10. Western Kingbird
11. Projection looks long enough for Hammond's but it has more of a Dusky look to it. Weird bird.
 
Least Flycatcher is quite unlikely to occur in southeastern Arizona, according to eBird.

#10 is definitely a Western Kingbird.
