These 4 warblers were all pictured on September 14th in a woodsy area between a large lake and open fields in central Texas. There were a lot of Yellow Warblers, Wilson's warblers and some Orange-Crowned. Apologies for the poor photography and thanks in advance for any help.

Agree. Although #3 ( the first #3 
) looks entirely yellow on the underparts I can't think of any other with a yellow vent and that head pattern.
edit :- IMO #2 is Wilson's as the eyering is too sharply defined / thin for Yellow and the bill too short and thin ( but that could be down to the angle )

1 is confusing and looks like a very dull Yellow Warbler. 2 looks like YW to me too. Wilson's should have a proportionately longer tail and an obvious super. YW has basically a bright/pale head with an isolated dark eye.

Yes. Although this would be very late for a juvenile, Yellow Warbler juvs are gray-ish when they first fledge.

I agree with Andy.
