Pics aren't very sharp
Had to crop them too tight
It is a newcomer to our birdfeeder.

Looks to me like a Red-Winged Blackbird. Fairly common around lakes & ponds. Is there water near where you are?

We have lots of redwing blackbirds but they are all black with red on their shoulders only
No white on them or brown like this bird

Probably a young Red-winged - not quite in full plumage.

Think it is too big for a young one
It is bigger than a full grown one

All I can come up with is a male juvenile Red-winged. Their size will compare with the adult. Their feathers can be black with brown or orange edges and they do vary.

This is a Tri-Color Blackbird.
Yep! And yes he does look a little under the weather..feathers not right on the neck and head...We have large numbers here (Southwestern Ontario) ...way too many! LOL... We have to discourage them from coming (with the dang European Starlings) to our feeders....A water gun helps a lot,is entertaining and keeps my husband active!
