These were labelled as from Honduras and I’m pretty sure the first 3 are whitei and the last one is a paraphrynus cf laevifrons, but any input is appreciated.

First 3 are classic Honduran Phrynus whitei.
The last one, if from the same locality, is probably a young Paraphrynus raptator rather than a P. laevifrons. Keep it to maturity and we'll find out!

Ooh that’d be nice to see, hopefully I’ll be able to find it a mate. Also long shot here, but is it possible to sex the whitei? I have 2 definite females and one maybe male or female, I can’t tell bc the genital operculum looks a bit off. Here’s a pic if it helps-

This one is a bit inconclusive. I'd say a male, but I would wait for it to molt to get a better view.
