Is this a juvenile brown-headed cowbird? I get the male and females at my feeders, but since their ways are a bit unconventional, I'm not sure. The two tone suggests and the droppy wings make me think fledgling/juvenile.

Was this taken in Indiana? It looks more like a female Brewer's Blackbird, but you are slightly out of range during June.

Yes, this was taken up in Noblesville, Indiana (central Indiana)

Cowbird for me, although I can see where Liam could get Brewer's from this posture. I think Brewer's would have a longer tail and thinner bill.
