I personally do not see anything that would make me doubt Northern Mockingbird.

Not sure what this is, but I don't think its a Mockingbird. Even with this poor lighting, I'd expect to see some of the bright white wingbars. Also, the bill looks short and thick, but that could just be my imagination.

Yeah, not a mockingbird's bill. Maybe cowbird, but that's just a maybe.

Ya, basically it could be anything but what I thought it was! 
Sorry mate, I tried to be helpful! That's why there are pros here too.

I lightened it a little to see if it is easier to ID.
