Obviously this is a tough identification.  Based on the photos I feel the white lower scaps contrasting with the rest of the mantle, small bill, faintly dusky streaked white rump, and lightly marked undertail coverts (I can see one well defined very thin gray streak on the side of the undertail coverts in one photo but still consistent with Hoary) support the identification of Hoary Redpoll.

I thought these descriptions and images were convincing evidence for the Hoary Redpoll identification.

The photographs look good. It seems there are some small streaks on the rump, but I think these are acceptable.

looks good - esp. based on bill size/shape but also frostier head/upperparts

Good photos (though I could not completely download them) show white rump and apparently unstreaked undertail coverts.
