Are photos 1 & 2 Whiskered Terns?

Slender-billed and Brown-headed Gull hybrids have been reported at this site. I'm not sure if the bird on the left in photo 3 would be a hybrid candidate? It's bill seemed longer when compared to the Brown-headed Gull on the right. I only have this photo.

Help with ID appreciated.

1 & 2 whiskered terns. and i see no reason for a hybrid in the left hand adult brown-headed gull. bills slightly vary wihtin species and this one has not near a bill shape as SBG. wingtip pattern also perfect for brown-headed.
