2. This one is a Cardinal, but I was wondering why the head looks like a male and then the body female? Is it molting or a juvenile?

Ditto on this.

The lighting makes the Cardinal look not as bright. This is what a female Cardinal looks like versus a male.

Good timber does not grow with ease:

The stronger wind, the stronger trees.

The further sky, the greater length,

The more the storm, the more their strength.

Agree with Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. From what I understand, male Northern Cardinals aren't actually crimson-red all over, their backs are grayish-red or grayish-brown. Like triple said, it's more obvious in certain lighting situations.
