I think they are both Arctics, though perversely i was looking hard at your heavier bird for LTS.
hard to say but I'd go with ad pom for the first & arctic for the second

I think I agree, though I'm struck by how different the wing length appears on the two birds.

Ciao Luca and all,
The second one seems like a relatively straightforwards Arctic. I think the first one is Arctic as well, but like Jane I also pondered Long-tailed, something about the body structure and the limited white in the primaries piqued my curiosity.
