Chris, they look great to me. You can adjust color in post-processing on the computer if it doesn't look quite right. Most chips see colors differently than they eye. Some of the extra "sunspots: could be dust specks on or near the camera's chip, or even birds or insects in the line of sight.

I had my camera with me when the sun was nice and red tonight, so I took a few pictures. As anyone who has seen the sun through the smoke knows, the color is not exact here. All I could do was set the white balance to daylight to try to get it. There are all taken within 1 minute of each other - is there a reason the sunspots aren't consistent?
I like the flock of birds picture better

If anyone is curious, it was taken by the following:
