Not the Best shots to judge,... any takers anyway?

They are Slender Billed Gulls Nicole.
 
I'd go for gull-billed tern. Can't see any reason to think it's whiskered.
The gulls have that characteristic prehistoric look of slender-billed.

You´re right. I got confused by head pattern. I must remember the golden rule "don´t focus on one single detail".
