Loons or Grebes or...? & Common Goldeneye muddle - Camano Washington State USA (1 Viewer)

Fandango739

United States
All seen last week in cold, rainy weather at a west side beach. Sometimes you can't wait for a perfect day.

1 - 4) Seen at extreme distance, well into the channel. Yes, bad photos, but the best I have of the pair.
5) The cheek patch seems Common Goldeneye, but what's with the muddled chest and side markings? Seen in the company of Barrow's.

Many thanks for any help.
