These two terns are challenging me. I think that the first complete tern on the left may be a Common Tern amongst Roseates. However I cannot ID the larger bird at the back. It may be the obscured bird from my earlier post. Again this is Point Maud in Coral Bay, WA. Any help much appreciated

Roseate Terns have a finer bill & are slightly smaller than Common Terns. So, I think they are all Roseate Terns except the one at the back is a Common Tern.
Thanks Steven. Sorry for the delay in responding but wifi issues while travelling.
Forgot to consider size of Common Tern and did not expect a Roseate in breeding plumage. Your assistance much appreciated. I'll just keep on trying.
