Which Terns? Iran, Hormozgan(Hengam Island), Feb. 2023 (1 Viewer)

Hi all,
Most of them seem to be Common Terns (in different ages & nonbreeding adults), but not pretty sure!

Any idea?

They all looked like common terns to me but I'm not sure what other local options there are

Thank you,
In Hormozgan we normally can see Crested ones, Gull-billed, Caspian, Little, Whiskered, Sandwich, White-cheeked, Common and also some scarce and rare species such as Bridled, Black, Sooty and Saunders's...
But I think the most similar one to these pics was Common Tern.
