CLOSED: Two birds in one pic to ID

Columbus, GA(Zone 8a)

I had a bunch of starlings and grackles out feeding this morning and saw these birds, which I don't recognize and can't find in my books. They are smaller than a Grackle, about the same size as a Starling. I thought - some form of a Red-winged Blackbird, but couldn't find a pic.

The three on the right have, what looks to be a singe tan wing bar, and then I saw the two on the left, and they have different looking wing bars.

Does anyone know what these two kinds of birds are?

Thanks

Here's another a pic of the bird with the tan wing bar. I think I see a bit of red above it - Red-winged Blackbird?

The 2 on the left in the Last pic are European Starlings.
