I think (from bottom to top)
1) Yellow-throated Vireo
2) Common Yellowthroat
3) Yellow-rumped Warbler (Audubon's)

The bottom bird looks more like a Pine Warbler to me. Overall shape seems more warbler like and the bill is all dark, Yellow-throated Vireo should have a slightly lighter colour to the base of the bottom part of the bill. The bill seems a little too slim as well. Also, the back pattern seems to stark. Pine Warbler has a clean-cut look between the yellow back and grey wings while on a Yellow-throated Vireo the yellow seems to almost blend into the grey in the wings.

I hope this helps,
Jax

I was thinking of Pine Warbler too, but thought the bill was too think. The tip of the bill is strategically hidden. Your points are good so Pine Warbler it is.

I stick with Common Yellowthroat.
