Scientists have found nearly 2,000 exoplanets since the first such world was confirmed orbiting a sunlike star in 1995. These ones are most similar to Earth.

A good top ten list to work from, thanks space.com. I do note that investigating some of these, mass properties for some are difficult to show or could be quite massive. Example, Kepler-22 b. This exoplanet could be close to 36 earth masses, see The Extrasolar Planet Encyclopaedia — Kepler-22 b (exoplanet.eu) or just < 36 earth masses, Kepler-22 (caltech.edu)

It's unclear if all of these are within the HZ.

For instance, I show Kepler-69c (not Kepler-69C) as being too close to the star and not in the HZ.

Here is a paper (~ 2013) that claims: "We find that, even under optimistic conditions, this 1.7 R⊕ planet is unlikely to be within the Habitable Zone of Kepler-69. "
