ID two small brown birds Oakland County, Michigan, USA (1 Viewer)

Attached are two photos I took yesterday September 25, 2020, at Robert Long park in Commerce, Michigan, USA (suburb of Detroit). These are about the size of a sparrow. They were on low trees in a treed area. I am new to birding and to me they look like maybe some sort of sparrow. Are these two birds the same kind of bird? Can you help me identify what they are?

Hi Jon, the first bird is a female Red-winged Blackbird. The second one may be, as well.

Both Red-winged. Blackbirds.
