I should know these birds but my reference books don't quite match. Any help appreciated.

the last bird looks like a bay-breasted to me (i think i see enough colour on the sides to rule out blackpoll)

Lucky tern could be right, I see quite a bit of reddish brown colour on the sides to make it a Bay-breasted.  Good observation.
