White-eyes - Sumatra

Can't figure out if these are an Oriental White-eye or a Mountain White-eye. Saw them in Gunung Leuser National Park, near Bukit Lawang.

Apparent lack of white iris, thighs that seem to be plain grey (from what little can be seen) and what appears to be a yellow marking (faint line) on belly of the single bird (and bird on right in your other photo) leads me to think they are Oriental White-eye.
