What Zebra finch are these?

Hi everyone

I would like help in identifying these two zebra finches I recently got. I would like to know the sex for sure(I'm assuming females) and the mutation. I do apologize for the bad pictures-they would not sit still. Thanks everyone.

It is a Black cheek hen and it looks to be an Isabel hen

Thanks Cindy for the info and help.
I have no clue at all when it comes to zebra mutations.
The white looking hen isn't pure white...her back looks somewhat fawnish. I'm probably not using correct terms and etc. It's hard to tell in the pictures because she is constantly moving around. But when I look at her markings on her tail, I can make out the bars still but it's just very faint so it all blends or so. Regardless, of me knowing the mutations or not...I found them very beautiful so that's why I bought them. I was just curious about the mutation thing.

If you can get a good picture of her, her back we can try to narrow down what she is.

Ok Cindy. I will try to get better pictures tomorrow of her.

Better pictures... I hope of the white female?
Hopefully, these pictures will help determine her mutation?
Excuse the ruffled feathers-she was a hard one to catch.
She does have faint tail marking but it's hard to make out.

Let me know what you all think she is.

Thanks
