The bird in the second image appears to have a moustache but it doesn't extend far enough - it should act as a border to the cheek and is probably a gape line. The bird in the third image lacks a moustache and has a darker brown crown, so should be Sooty-capped? I can't comment on the first image.

Middle bird is a Sooty-capped, to add to Andy's comment, note rather small bill.
