I think it looks like a grackle, but the colors don't match. I don't think the beak does either. So, here I am calling on the experts again. Thanks so much. :D:D

I can't tell, either. Do you have another shot from a different angle? Doesn't look a bit like a Grackle to me, though.

Well you have stopped me in my tracks. If the colors are true, I have absolutely no idea what this bird is. Where was the photograph taken?

Well, this is getting interesting. The bird's eye looks for all the world like Grackles. I have the same question as Curmudgeon regarding the colors.

Most definitely where and when?
I did find some picture of Grackles with leucism that have coloring vaguely like that.

could it be a female Brewer's Blackbird? Merlin offered up that choice.
It depends on where this was taken

Not being able to see where the photo was taken makes ID more difficult. I am leaning towards a rusty blackbird.

Where and when shot would be helpful.

Female grackle? Great-tailed? Location would be helpful. Female grackles do not have the same coloring as males especially boat-tail and great-tail.

If its smaller than a robin, I think its a female Eastern Bluebird. Of course, ignore this suggestion if you are in the Western US.
