3 vultures in the Gobi, can you identify them?

They seem to have a carcass on the left of shot, but spend a lot of time on the ground as a) there are no trees, b) no thermals!

 

With no cover at all, getting close to any bird is difficult and large birds know it takes them some time to get airborne so are especially cautious.

 

The first enlarged image is of the middle one, the last two show the one on the right.

I have more pictures if you want to see underside of wings or other angles, please let me know.
