The first one looks a lot like a longear, but it's kind of banged up
so some of the color is missing. The ear flap is too long for a
young pumpkinseed. The body and head shape are not right for an
orangespot.

The second one is _very_ odd. The head shape is that of an
orangespot, but the body coloration is wrong or lacking. Also the
proportions of the ear flap are those of a young longear. Possibly a
hybrid?

I would like to hear Ray Wolff's take on these too.
