My thoughts as well, though I don't recall offhand if there are other similar species in that region.

As for the first, I am not 100% sure... I am torn between Hooded, Orchard, and Bullock's(but definitely not a Baltimore).

So much work, so little time...so let's go birding
Hi All,
The oriole in the first set looks like a female Orchard Oriole, a species similar to Hooded but with stronger wingbars and a shorter bill. Then are common wintering birds in western Mexico. The oriole in the second comment looks like a Streak-backed Oriole with a thicker bill and more restricted black on the face compared to Hooded. The orange lesser/median wing coverts are found on this species in Nayarit. See: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/82101131#_ga=2.174205921.29694191.1542908834-1908399866.1538285703
