Hi all, stuck on three please,

5 down, guises, personalities, (10) u?e?t?t?e?.
27 across, hesitant, disinclined. (9) r?n?c?a?t.
29 across, butterfly, a lecherous male, (5) s?t?r. I think this is satyr.

Thanks in advance.

27a reluctant - is the c OK?

[Oldred]

sorry - I meant the n

[JoolsTwo]

27a Reluctant - Check your 'N'

[boxtops]

5 - identities (if your U is wrong)
27 - reticent (your A may be wrong)
29 - satyr

[boxtops]

27 - PS if it's reticent, sorry your N also may need looking at

[writesbad]

5d identities

[Oldred]

reticent is only 8 letters so reluctant looks more likely

[boxtops]

so it is, oldred - thanks, my error.

[eugenepious]

4 across must be wrong. the clue is a butterfly in old sulphur, (9) I put down bluestone,
b???stone.
and 25 down, wingless biting insect, (4) ?n?a

[boxtops]

4a Brimstone ?

[boxtops]

25 looks like GNAT if your last A is wrong?

[EGTB]

Or Flea if your N is wrong

[boxtops]

Flea looks more likely, I think gnats have wings!

Got it now thank you all so much.
