How do you know, @Quiscalus quiscula?
-
Observed a few days ago in Chicago, Illinois in the middle of the city among a group of house sparrows.
Pictures are a little blurry. Slightly more upright than house sparrows; hopping on the grass. A light brown streak visible above and below the eye. Black spots on the upper chest. I thought it could be a harris sparrow, but not sure. I don't see black on top of the head. Not familiar with midwest birds, so any input would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Any chance you could crop the photos a bit closer? Might provide some more details as this site compresses photos once uploaded
A cropped photo is attached, as requested. It is hard to tell the true color of the head with this angle of lighting. I increased the exposure, and now am seeing green in addition to the white stripe on the wing. I appreciate all the insights!

Yes, I agree Belted Kingfisher. Note the brown on the side

A group of two or three of them on Eastern Long Island, in a wooded area near the water. Appeared as maybe a Cooper's. Medium-sized. Noticed a long tail with dark stripes underneath. They were flying from branch to branch, making a lot of noise. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture.

certainly a grackle!

I agree with Caspian Tern - black cap and thick, long orange/red bill

What kind of warbler?
in Help Me Identify a North American Bird
Posted
This week in NYC - between orange-crowned warbler, yellow warbler, and palm warbler. The yellow coverts under the tail made me think orange-crowned.
