sparrows from louisiana in feb (1 Viewer)

I think I knew what these were for sure when I first watched them. But now I am having some trouble. If I could get some confirmations or corrections, I would greatly appreciate it.
The first one and second one seem to be Savannah Sparrows.
The third one looks like a Swamp Sparrow just from the distinct color on the wings and sides.
Number four, possibly a white-crowned sparrow? 1st winter?
The last one, I can't figure out at all. It has white streaking on its back like a Henslow, but the head markings are nothing like it. I will keep looking in my books and hopefully someone can help (okay, I know someone will be able to help!).
My apologies for the poor quality of shots. The transition from film to CD never is a perfect one.

Thanks in advance!
Elizabeth

I'm only making out Savannah and Swamp in these photos. I thought maybe #2 at left was a White-throated Sparrow, but now I only see Swamps.
 
As far as I can tell, the first photo contains a pair of Savannahs, the next three have a Savannah and a Swamp, then the last in a Swamp Sparrow.
