I agree with Liam. Except that I think the peeps in photo 4 may be Semipalmated. The overall paleness of the throat and breast, and the longish curved bill on the one second from the right has me thinking that. Not positive though.

I think photo 5 are Pecs. The bills look right with the orange tword the base. And I think I see greenish yellow legs which fits too.

Photo #5 looks like Leasts to me. Pecs should have almost no wingstripe, and you should be able to see the breast streaking on this shot.
