Hello,
I saw these Ibises on May 7 at Hagerman NWR in Texas. Need help confirmation of the id's.

1. Is the left bird Glossy Ibis and the right one White-face Ibis?

Thanks,
Srinivas.
 
I think you're right on all: glossy, white-faced, glossy. In the glossies, white doesn't extend around the eye. In white-faced we can see pinkish on the face
