Starling/Waxwing Mission Impossible (1 Viewer)

These birds were spotted in a tree in Loughton. As I did not have my DSLR on me and hence used a compact and the tree was far away the photos are rubbish - excuse me! However I reckon amongst the Starlings there is a Waxwing or two (the one on the left in photo1 and the one on the right in photo2). It is smaller than the Starling, has a different posture and I can just about see a hint of a yellow stripe on the tail as well as a subtle crest. What do you think? This may be an impossible task! You may need to zoom in on the computer...

Looks like they are starlings to me but difficult to tell from the photo

They look very starlingy

Nothing to suggest anything other than starlings. The two you picked out have very typical starling shapes and poses.

I must be seeing things (I swear there is a yellow bar on the tail of the far bird in the 3rd photo). Thanks for the confirmation though. I have seen Waxwing before (170 at once), I just was not 100% sure of the ID.
