It looks like an identical shade of blue and the same width and orientation of stripes on both flags to me

The one on extreme left is different. Probably more a ribbon than a stripe but I like it. And way more of blue on Rivera flag.

Hmm not a fan of either here but San José (URU) probably the better of the two.
Not liking the brown mountains.

Santa Cruz

Have voted for San José consistently but for me this time it has to be

Santa Cruz
The blue (color) represents the sky ; the sun is the light reflected of our national sun as symbol of divinity that was to the aboriginal people. Furthermore, the sun is the raising sun and symbolic of the dawn of the youth of this Province. It has an inferior semi circle (that has inside) the night sky, the Southern Cross and the Mount Chaltén. The latter, a symbol of the primitive inhabitants of these southern lands, the Aónikenk. In the inferior part of the flag, in blue and white colors, is represented the sea.

Parana

Paraná
It is composed of a green quadrilateral, crossed from the upper left angle to the lower right by a large white stripe, which symbolizes the Tropic of Capricorn (which passes through northern Paraná), bearing a blue circle with the five stars of the Southern Cross (Crux) in lower course. The Cross is depicted with south at the top, as it appears in the night sky.

The circle is crossed, below the "Star of Magellan", by a thin stripe that suggests a horizon, featuring the word "PARANÁ" in green, lightened by the only visible star of that constellation. The sphere is surrounded by a branch of Paraná Pine tree on the right, and by a branch of Yerba mate on the left.


Tierra del Fuega
The flag has a white stylized flying albatross facing the upper fly, and its wingspan stretches from the canton corner of the flag to the lower fly corner of the flag. The area of the flag above the albatross is blue, and the area below it is orange. In the center of the blue area is a stylized version (using white five-pointed stars) of Crux.Blue represents the ocean and the sky, the albatross is a symbol of Tierra del Fuego, and Santa Cruz is a very famous guide constellation in the Southern Hemisphere.

From the minute I read about the albatross I was sold on this flag. I also love the way it is used to separate the flags colours rather than just plonked in the middle of the flag. I do think the orange works really well and I wouldn't be a fan of orange on flags.

I really like Paraná but in this round it has to be Tierro del Fuego. (Great name for a place too)
