I was sitting at my computer when a new bird showed up tonight at the suet feeder. It is a tanager, but I am not sure if is is summer or scarlet.

I am attaching the links to the picture of one I got in May and another I got tonight. I have two questions:
- is this the same bird? Will their coloration change over the summer months?
- is the second pic a summer or scarlet?

Thanks in advance.
