Hello, I was recently in the Smoky Mountains in TN/NC and found several species of salamander that we could not ID. We think they may be in a juvenile stage? Please let me know if you can provide ID on the following 3 photos! Our GUESSES on two of them are the Blue Ridge Spring Salamander for the red ones (found in small stream), and maybe Ocoee Salamander for the one on the leaf? Thank you!!
Jessica

The ones in the middle look like southern red salamanders

The first one is a type of Desmognathus, the second two are Red salamanders, and the third I can't tell
 
The third could be a two lined salamander larvae but don't know for sure
