Have I identified them correctly? We're very excited about having an osprey in our back yard down here. Thank you in advance!

Osprey for the first. The second I thought looked like a Common buzzard, but the head and bill shape look a better fit for a Pernis to me - perhaps a dark phase juvenile? Third looks like Crested, but wouldn't want to rule out Thekla on the basis of this image.
 
Doesn’t look like a Common Buzzard to me - both the neck and tail look long - more like Honey Buzzard

#3 The bill looks too short and stubby for Crested pointing to Thekla imo

Do you think the chest band is just an illusion? Because no color form of Honey Buzzard shows that, so I took that to confirm Common Buzzard (which I would have said anyway based on the overall feeling though).
