S.Cyprus Wheatear IDs? (1 Viewer)

Hello,
There are various wheatears and I'm uncertain on the IDs for some. Grateful for your help please....
a) Not sure - all dark head and no pale eyebrow?
b) So pale I assume this is a desert wheatear?
c) Not sure? White is behind the eye?
d) Northern female?
e) This one is pale with thin dark stripes on top of the head? Larger white eye stripe
