#1 correct but i'm not sure if it is juv.
#2 should be coloured Red-billed Starling
#3 correct
#4 should be White-shouldered Starling. Note the bill of Chestnut-tailed Starling is yellow with some blue at the base.
#5 yes it is a Japanese Yellow Bunting, great find!!

wkcheng was correct for #2. This is a coloured White-cheeked Starling. The pattern is still visible below the colouring.
#1 is not a juvenile (which would not occur at this time of year). This is a female White-cheeked.
I agree #4 is White-shouldered.
