(Apologies for the difficulty viewing the images.  I believe that I have resolved the problem!)  Out of the blue yesterday, a huge gang of misfit birds, including a bald grackle, attacked my feeder in a frenzy that lasted about 1.5 hours!  Mostly grackles, but also finches, and a rose-breasted grosbeak, nut-hatches, chickadees, and then these mystery birds.  I would very much appreciate your help with identifying these birds!

  I'm thinking a molting Red-winged Blackbird.

Thank you!

1) Female/juv Red-winged Blackbird
2) Juv. Common Grackle
3) Male Red-winged Blackbird, probably molting as you say.
