Juvenile frigatebirds - it is difficult for me to identify them, so I would like to leave this work for the experts.

More frigatebird photos - to be honest, I cannot identify them with confidence!

Thanks to Bob, Alexander, Geoff and K.K..

I agree with K.K. that I should pay more attention to exposure control. Would K.K. please advise me how to improve? I was still shooting JPEG.
