These ducks have me confused, I would think some kind of Hybrid if I didn't have two basically identical ducks. I've included a picture that shows them in comparison to a Gadwall for size reverence, which should most likely, put them in the Teal family.
The shorebird I thought was a Dunlin or a Semipalmated Sandpiper but the hunched back is confusing me, that looks like a Dowitcher but the colors seem all wrong.
Thanks.

Not Cinnamon in NJ(and bill not large like a Cinnamon)... I agree with Blue-winged Teal and Dunlin here.

The OP already mentioned that as he used it as a comparison for the other duck.
