Thank you all! I believe it IS a female adult...though I could be wrong. It was approximately the same size as the adult males, which were black.

Excellent shot....a different colour than our grackles.

Interesting colouring- like the wind blown plumage.

Or, possibly a juvenile. Very good! You have the species id'd correctly, based on the eye and tail. The colors of the adult aren't yet established. Yeah, I think Scooter97 has the right idea about a female Great-tailed Grackle.

This may be a female Great Tailed Grackle. It's a very good shot!
