The top picture is certainly a Brown Jay Psilorhinus morio but is the bottom picture also a Brown Jay but an adolescent not long out of the nest?
CLOSED: Brown Jay scruffy adolescent?
I think they are both Great-tailed Grackles
Yep, Great-tailed Grackles.

We have a dedicated local bird watcher who entertains visiting bird watchers. After many years he has identified 214 species in the immediate local area around Lake Peten Itza in Northern Guatemala. .
The Great-Tailed Grackle is listed amongst his latest entries.
If a Grackle these must be females as the males are iridescent black.
The photo may be a Male Grackle, what do you think?
Yep, the first pic is a female; the second (in the first pic montage) is actually an immature male - see the glossy black feathers starting to replace the brown juvenile feathers. The two new pics are both adult males.
