I need some help with these two wheatears, photographed in Armenia in early September.

I think the first one might be a female Finsch's - unfortunately I was preoccupied by digiscoping the bird and didn't note the tail pattern.

Photos of the second bird are slightly more awful - I believe it's a dark.throated Black-eared Wheatear (its back was light).

Thanks for your help!

I think both are Finsch's.
On the second bird, the black throat seemingly connects with the wing, hence I don't think it's a "Stapazin" BEW.

I agree, on the second bird the crown & nape look grey which would be better for Finsch's.
