LOL... I agree with both of you! That 3rd one is very questionable. Thanks for the replies. Anyone else?

Number 3 is also a male. Without doubt in my opinion.
Number 4 I consider questionable - depending on age. Is it of same size / age like the others ?
Best regards

Yes they are all full grown adults and about the same size as the others. In the group shots - #3 is the 3rd one in the first picture going left to right and the second one in the second picture going left to right.
