I'm thinking perhaps Arctic Warbler for image 1?, an Acro sp for Image 2? And I haven't a clue for 3.

Cheers

1 is not an Arctic, supercilium meets the bill, lower mandible not dark-tipped. Neither Arctic or Blyth's have been recorded AFAIK in Kerala.

The first image is of a Phylloscopus Warbler, it appears to have a wing-bar, it certainly looks "bigger" than smaller, and looks somewhat attenuated?

Having trawled P.borealis images on the web, I have found a good number whereby the supercillium appears to meet the bill base, regarding the requisite "dark tip" to the bill, I found this also lacking on many AW images, as I found not present on two Blyth's Reed Warblers that I have encountered, presumably this is not a "fail safe" feature?

Irrespective of AW. never knowingly having occured in Kerala....what other options are there?

Cheers

I think 1 could very well be a Greenish Warber. Kind of typical typical large-eyed impresssion and all pale lower mandile. In addition I guess this species should be rather common in Kerala.
