Also, possibly some variety of cowbird, which I am unfamiliar with.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1

May 27, 2011 21:17 | #3 Nope, not a Starling. Bill is wrong. MIght be a juvenile Brewer's Blackbird or juvenile Cowbird. Eye color might be wrong for a Brewer's. Good luck...

Perhaps they stay dark until adult feathers are in? The coloration suggests to me it is a male. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1
