Hello everyone, can someone please help me ID these warblers? I asked about these before but now re-edited the images with better software to make them brighter and more clear.

I wonder if 2 is Bell's Vireo... If it is, that would be quite rare, but its the best I can come up with and it fits pretty well... any other pictures? Is there any chance you saw it on Sept. 17 at Murphy Candler Park near Atlanta?

I don't know the exact spot for the 2nd, I was there with someone else, I believe that was N Georgia, further from Atlanta than the other ones. I'll look for other photos and return if I find anything.
 
I think #2 looks okay for American Redstart.
Bill looks fine for a warbler
I concede. I think you’re right. It is a pretty big coincidence that I checked ebird to see if there were any Bell’s Vireo’s around Atlanta around the time frame of the original post, and sure enough there was. That was after I gandered that guess. Still, I think it is probably a coincidence because another look at the bill, and it strikes me as odd for a warbler, but admittedly it doesn’t look like an obvious Vireo bill either. Then when you mentioned American Redstart, I have to agree because they do have a rather blunt-tipped, short and stout bill for a warbler. It all lines up pretty well.
