Does anyone know what these are ? (We had a small flock in our front yard)

Looks a bit like the Common Yellowthroat but not quite. Here's a link I found:

Hi,

I think it may be a bird called a Cedar Waxwing.

The bird link I have is:

I also have some field guides here at home and I thought it might be a waxwing. The clue that gave it away was it said these birds eat berries, and I saw them in the front yard eating all the crab aplles on the tree. There were about 30 of them and they allowed me to stand quietly and take pictures. Pretty neat!
