1 certainly looks like a Greenshank to me. Centre bird in 2 looks more like a Caspian Plover.

Note the other one at the extreme front centre of pic 2. Perhaps chestnut-banded plover?

Thank you all ,

So in pic 2 center bird Caspian Plover extreme center Chestnut plover and picture 3 White front plover.

No I make pic 3 Caspian; same as the middle—but not the middle front—bird in pic 2. White-fronted plover would be just that—white-fronted (i.e. certainly no thick smudgy breast band). I do not see white-fronted plover in any of your pics.
