These are Forster terns, taken last month. Easy to tell apart.
Agreed. Wrong color on bill and different head patterns, also.

I can't seem to match this tern with anything in my books except Little Tern which is an Asian species. Help, please.
Definitely least tern.

Those are Forsters Terns. We have them here in Huntington Beach along the Coast and nesting sites in Bolsa Chica Wetlands. Here is one of my shots of them amongst Willets and Marbled Godwits.
The tern in flight is a royal tern.
