To my eye images 1 and 3 look very similar!......I know nothing on birds of Kuwait...saving that the images resemble a female type Palestine Sunbird?

Image 2 is somewhat intriguing as it appears to be short winged and relatively bland faced. According to the Kuwait checklist.....Eastern Olivaceous and Upchers are the only breeding Hippos.

Thus in June one wouldn't expect to encounter any other warbler groups that might be comparable. Were it not for range and month restrictions, I would have considered Booted a possible candidate.
