Help with Raptors

I saw these birds today at a park in Northern New Jersey. I don't remember if pics 2 & 3 are the same bird... I believe the first 3 are red-tailed hawks, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure about 2 but rest are red-tails

2 is a red-tail. Only other buteos around now would be a late red shouldered, or an early roughie in New Jersey. No commas, and no panel in je wings, leaving red tail. Also, I saw roughies and red tail today in their gliding stance, and 2 looks exactly like the red tails.
