4 is Grey-hooded Warbler. Pass on the other (which is one of the "Golden-spectacled" complex)

1-3 shows clean and extensive grey on the crown (including below the lateral crown stripes) and obvious dark lateral crown stripes extending almost to the bill. This would suggest Grey-crowned Warbler (Phylloscopus tephrocephalus) to me. They usually have a break in the rear of the eyering - it's hard to confirm that from these photos but it looks like this might be the case on photo 3.
Among the other species of the "Gold-spectacled" complex, it looks like the other ones to occur regularly in Nagaland are White-spectacled (which should have a white eyering in the local subspecies) and Whistler's (which has a greener crown).
I agree with Grey-hooded for the other bird.
