The first bird is a Common Snipe (note the very long bill, black lateral crown stripes, rather ginger tones around the head and neck and especially the narrow super in front of the eye compared to Pintail and Swinhoe's Snipe). The others Swinhoe's or Pintail but I would think that bird 2 has a bill too short for Swinhoe's, the bird in photos 3-5 with a large bill and rather think looking legs is probably a Swinhoe's. The last is a classic Pinhoe's/Swintail Snipe.
