Observation details

Really hard to tell from the angle in this picture - could be a grackle, even, though it looks about the same size as nearby RWBL and it doesn't appear to have a long tail/bill. Blue iridescence on head, light eye. I saw a few more birds that I thought were BRBL on the way down the road, then assumed I'd be able to find them on the way back... and instead found a mixed flock of ~200 blackbirds and couldn't locate the ones I was looking at before.
