#1 ? Could be Spotted Flycatcher
#2 ? The bill is reminiscent of Red-throated / Taiga Flycatcher
#3 Spotted Flycatcher
#4 Siberian Stonechat

1-3 all are spotted flycatchers. white fringes to tertials and greater coverts, pale panel on secondaries not shown by red-breasted/taiga fly.
not sure which eastern stonechat ssp. this is.

I'd have thought Siberian Stonechat would be more likely than Stejnegers ( there again, does anyone know? ).

Most likely maurus as stenegeri has a much more easterly range; breeds e Siberia and e. Mongolia to Korea and Japan, wintering in se China and se Asia.
