juv gulls, pipits, juv wheatear (?) in Norway (1 Viewer)

I've got a few saved up that I need help with. Mostly very young gulls from around home, but also some from the island where I'm visiting now - birds I'm less familiar with and having trouble sorting. For instance the pipits. There are several species around here and I can't get the details (leg color, calls, speckle clarity, habitat ...) all to fit with the descriptions in my field guide.

very young gulls are really hard to ID but for 1. and 2. i'd say, almost certainly they are common gulls, probably also the downy young in pic 3.
4. is a meadow pipit (strong flank streaking)
5. looks like a sunbathing willow warbler
