Three Phylloscopus warblers from Laos? (1 Viewer)

[Perangua]

Hi all, I found some old photos I took in Thakek, Laos in February 2017. Could you please help with ID or possibilities for the area and date?

Bird 1


Bird 2 - look like Ph.inornatus but bill color looks strange



Bird 3 - I believe a Radde's warbler:

Agree with Radde’s in Bird 3.
Possibly Eastern Crowned in Bird 2?
and pass on Bird 1.

Cheers

I'll wait for more informed opinions, but bird 2 isn't ECw - note undertail covert colouration. Bird three is either Radde's or Yellow streaked, but personally I find these difficult enough in the field if they're not calling, and virtually impossible from photos.
Bird 4 looks like a babbler spp.

Thanks for the info, hope we get more opinions
Bird 1 - any ideas?
Bird 2 - I have no experience with ECw, what else could it be in Laos in February?
Bird 3 - Bill looks more like Radde's, also somehow coloration... but I have no live experience with both species
Bird 4 is Sooty Babbler Stachyris herberti (uploaded by mistake with the warblers)

Here’s one taken by “coveman”
Thailand Sep’23 regarding UTC’s which can be variably toned dependant on reflected light.

Indeed - note the saturated UTC's which are not shown by the second bird in this thread.

First is tricky. My impression is Davison's/Kloss's (I'm not sure which is more likely there) but the crown stripe seems very poorly marked or absent.

Second looks like one of the Blyth's complex - Blyth's, Claudia's or Hartert's fokiensis. Note the 'nuthatch' behaviour, perching on the sides of larger branchs, rather than on smaller twigs. These are difficult to ID in the best of conditions, and I don't think you can ID from these photos.

Agree with Radde's for the third, with that short, thick bill.

Nice discussion here, thank you all!
From the Ebird reviewer:
Bird 1 - should be two-barred warbler
Bird 2 - Blyth's complex (at least in Ebird the most common is Claudia's). Eastern Crowed Warbler is not wintering in the region.
Bird 3 - Radde's
