Thank you for commenting.
Without my 77-420mm {55-300mm + 1.4 TC} lens, they all the birds under my squirrel feeder had looked the same.
One of these things is not like the others!

With the weather this year, it is a "crap shoot".
My wife, who is the bird watcher in the family, says position of the sun is key.
If that is right, it will depend on which birds are resident around there.
If received knowledge is wrong, maybe you will find something else.
In any case, I hope you have a good and productive day.
The orange bill is different, no?
The one with the orange beak.

I think the answer is none, because one is not a sparrow, it almost looks like a female cardinal to me, but it is hard to see, because the picture is very unclear!

My view was unclear which is why I was uncertain at first.
Yes, the bird with an orange beak is a female Cardinal who was "slumming" with the Sparrows, something I noticed only when I looked through my viewfinder.
How different do you want? You have a single female Northern Cardinal (with the red bill), and several Male and Female House Sparrows. Males with the Black bib, females more plain.
