They are indeed both Bushtits. Good catch bee.jacbs!

Bushtit seems correct to me. I have sent the pictures to the guy who leads my area's Christmas and Spring counts for confirmation.

I have added a picture of the bird from behind. It's not much more helpful from what I can see but maybe a more seasoned birder will notice something.

I am having a hard time believing the bird is a gray jay because the birds could not have been more than 6 inches (8 max) in length and I know gray jays average at about 11.5 inches. Also, the bird in the first picture is (believe it or not) the same as the birds in the last picture.
