I am unsure if the 3rd picture is the same species as the others- it doesn't have the markings, and is smaller, but I don't know if there are differences between males and females etc

All Fiery Coppers. Undersides are variable. Basically males have the 'pointy bits' on end of hindwings and bright orange on antennal clubs (as per yours). Females have more rounded hindwings.
