Can anyone help ID these fish found in Honduras recently?

Looks like wrasses of some kind? What are the approximate sizes? My internet dollar is on a wrasse, based on the fin placement of both (esp the second one).

Possibly yellowhead wrasses in some of their many juvenile phases

They're wrasses.

Trying to identify wrasses based on color is a good way to lose alot of money as you buy all the Fish ID books.

But, having done so already, I can tell you they are indeed Yellowhead wrasses. The two lines radiating up and back from the eyes is characteristic of this species.

Thank you so much! I did suspect they were wrasses but couldn't find a color match in the Fish ID books (which I do have)!
