Help with Redpoll ID (1 Viewer)

Hi there,

I was wondering if I could get some input into these redpolls species. Pictures taken today in Toronto, Ontario. Links to dropbox below as the files were to large to post directly.

Redpoll #1 - The bill looks stubby to be me, and overall was a brighter white than other redpolls in the area with fainter streaking, made me think it is possible it was a Hoary but I am not confident.

Redpoll #2 - This bird was definitely whiter than the other redpolls but perhaps it was just the lighting, but the bill looks to large to be a Hoary in my amateur opinion.

Just thought I would ask the community as a learning experience. People have been reporting Hoary in the area but I have not been able to nail down the ID as of yet.

Thanks for any advice
