I'd say Desert for the first three (not seen Dunn's, but the bill looks too small, and the pp too long). Could be Bar-tailed, but the tail looks to have quite a wide diffuse dark tip from what little can be seen.

Last two Thekla, (curved lower mandible)

Not an expert by any means so wait further comment before tagging them!

I think all the first three are Bar-tailed Lark.

Certainly going by the small dainty bill and the rufous tertials I'd agree Andrew, I was just concerned about what looks to be quite a broad dark diffuse tail band. Seen many more Desert than Bar-tailed mind you!
