The one on the right does look like some of the Flirt trains, but it seems smaller. Maybe https://www.sbb.ch/en/travel-information/services-on-train/our-trains/gtw-seetal.html

I'm sure it's Thurbo, that red t fits the beginning of the branding

And the train is called Wil, so that's RABe 526 730

Not sure how it comes across in German but for us English speaking folks “Thurbo” sounds like a portamenteau of “Throbbing” and “Turbo”.

Haha well it is actually a portmanteau of "Turbo" and "Thur", the name of a regionally significant river, or perhaps the canton of "Thurgau" named after the river. I think that's the association people in its service area will generally make.
