The first bird is a Smooth-billed Ani.
The second is a Northern Mockingbird, Tropical Mockingbird isn't found in Cuba.

It's a different, smaller subspecies of Northern Mockingbird.

Hi ... Thought I would add to this thread. I was in the Holquin area of Cuba a week or so ago, and was fortunate to pick up some of the Cuban indigenous species, as well as a pile of others.

Cool birds. I didn't know about the Todies before, it looks like a Hummingbird, but apparently it's closer to Kingfishers and Bee-eaters.

Thanks for sharing.
