Is there anyway someone can ID these? Sorry for the quality, did some heavy editing to try to get some detail. After a bit of looking, I'm leaning toward Mitred Parakeet. I've never seen them before and don't want to put the wrong thing on my garden list. Thanks for any help.

Thanks, Butty. The single shot was cropped from the flock. Not for the life list, but still needed to know for my yard list.
