Redstarts - Yunnan, China (1 Viewer)

Hi here are some more to id from Lijiang, just taken last week. I have guesses on them, though I'm not sure I have up-to-date names.

Bird 1 - a bit of a puzzle to me, and is unfortunately the only pic. I wonder if the white cap could be extensive enough to show a White-winged Redstart
Bird 2 - seems to be a Daurian Redstart - saw a lot of these
Bird 3 - is this a Daurian?
Bird 4 - (sorry for the lost of head!) this was in the area with bird 3, but I thought it wasn't a female Daurian because of the color, but now am thinking maybe it was a Daurian
Bird 5 - this bird had an all blue/grey breast, so with other features I assume it was a Plumbeous Water Redstart

Thanks for your help!

PS Sorry a bit of trouble with sizing photos on this computer - hope they're okay.

Agree with your IDs for 2&5. 3 is a Blue-fronted Redstart.

1. Looks like it is probably a Daurian Redstart, but not the easiest angle
2. I think male Hodgson's. Definitely not Daurian, which should be blacker above, greyer on crown with clearer white spot on wing
3. Agree with Blue-fronted.
4. Errm. Female redstart sp.
5. Yes, Plumbeous.

Ignore my Daurian ID then. Thought I could get away with using my Thailand guide for that one, but it doesn't even include Hodgson's.

Thanks Jim and John! that's definitely more redstart species than I had thought we would see. The blue-fronted in particular didn't look quite the same as the others, but I hadn't really looked carefully at that one in the book and failed to see it was really distinct.
