I think all three are yellow bittern, as cinnamon bittern does not have the dark regimes

Those with stripes are juveniles.

Yes, these are all Yellow Bitterns, however the ones with stripes are females; the third photo is a male. You won't see any juveniles at this time of year (they have not bred yet), we see juveniles in late summer and autumn.

Sorry for the mistake, I read it from the Birds of South China and Hong Kong. Thanks Mike for correcting!
