First is Bohemian waxwing. Rufous undertail feathers are dead giveaway vs. Cedar Waxwing. Bohemians also have more color in wings. These are the easiest diagnostic field marks.
Second is a redpoll, likely A Common redpoll. The other option would be Hoary redpoll. Compared to Hoary, Common has a bigger bill, more streaking on the flanks, and unstreaked under tail coverts. These field marks are tough to see on this bird in this photo. However, Common redpoll generally has more red on the breast than Hoary. With a nice pink wash across the breast, I would propose Common redpoll for the bird.
