[EBB Sightings] Mystery birds at Arrowhead

I couldn't decide between Brown-headed Cowbird and
Brewer's Blackbird on these two different birds in
Palo Alto recently. I was leaning toward Brewer's but
they look very similar to Mary's birds:

Any tips appreciated... I'm still new at ID'ing and
I'm not always very good at it...
