Last looks like a skua. Despite the heft, I think this is probably Arctic.

Looks like you might have some Fluttering Shearwater in there as well in the first photo, though I'm not 100% certain. They appear smaller, with steeper foreheads and thinner bills that are more uniformly colored.
Agree the last bird is a Skua/Jaeger, probably Arctic/Parasitic both on field marks and likelihood of occurence.

Fluttering: 1-3,9. Flesh-footed 4?,5-8. Not sure about 4 but most likely flesh-footed
