Observation details
**** Super surprised, photo lifer!!! the original photos weren't clear, but I thought quick flight+ white wing patches meant starling, and messy plumage impression was due to blurry photos. only until when I saw the photos on the computer, first the bill shape, then the line through the eye - unmistakable!!! very cool seeing it in this kind of open cultivated open farmland environment during its breeding season. super awesome!! was flying in SE direction. original comments! a gray dark bird with white wing patches, photoed, maybe immature, or otherwise just messy plumaged (which this species already is, even without messy plumage lol) landed at 28.474288, 116.026360 did not see it after landing, but got pics in flight.
