Great photos! I cannot be certain which the first is either. I believe all of ours here are Downy (other than the Flickers).
The woodpeckers like pecking holes in my house. As they do these through the shingles where they overlap a joint below, I have to assume something tasty was hiding there. I chase them from the side and they jump to the back.
They are also very active on the dead tree branches, They look like the Chickadees when circling the wood and picking at the bark.
