Are these all Eriothrix rufomaculatus?

Looks good to me - silvery face, protruding mouth edge, petiole, red sides to abdomen, slightly shaded wings -
Eriothrix rufomaculata :)

Thank you for confirming the Id Chris.
Didn't know it is rufomaculata instead of rufomaculatus.

Rule of thumb: most latin words ending on -o, -s, or -x are feminine.

Just realised I should have also said ... and not
Mintho rufiventris because the abdomen is more of less cylindrical (not laterally compressed) and it has 4 dark longitudinal stripes on the anterior part of the thorax :D
(wow... almost missed my chance to talk about
Mintho :o)
