Aratinga Parakeet Questions

After birding in Miami beach, I was completely confused by many of these Aratinga parakeets. Though Red-masked and Blue-crowned are obviously IDable, I see characteristics of Scarlet-fronted, White-eyed, Green, Mitred, and Red-masked in a bunch of these birds. I'd appreciate any feedback about what these birds are, be they hybrids, particular species, ages and sexes interacting, etc. These pictures of the birds in question were taken in the parking lot just north of the Eden Roc hotel.

Thanks in advance,
Jacob Drucker
