Hi Choimo,

I'm no expert on Asian Flycatchers but with the lack of breast-streaking the first two appear to me to be Asian Brown Flycatcher (Muscicapa dauurica)

The wing-tips should end about half-way down the tail when the birds at rest, as your first two seem to.

I saw quite a few last week in Hong Kong along with a Dark-sided (M. griseisticta)
