Phylloscopus - Doi Inthanon, Thailand (1 Viewer)

Here are three photos, if not of the same individual two or three from the same flock. Taken near the peak of Doi Inthanon, near Chiang Mai.
I believe this is White-tailed Leaf-Warbler. Any opinions ?

#1&3 - Look more like Blyth's Leaf Warbler, ssp assamensis, duller toned birds than the yellower toned individual in image two.
#2 - Davison's Leaf Warbler, a split from White-tailed.
 
Thank you very much Mark, nevertheless I believe that the difference in colour warmth is an artefact and a result of the low light / against the light conditions.
Pictures #1 and 2 are probably of the same inidivual. In this case, can we favour one of the two species ? Quentin
