Need help again-Alberta Canada

Hi Again
I'm not doing to good this week on IDing some birds. Can anyone help on this one, the bird was with one other of the same color and a Canada Jay {whiskey jack}. This bird looked just slightly larger than the Canada Jay.
Thanks Redtail7

Maybe a juvenile Gray Jay?

Hi Redtail,

Seeing that gape, looks to be a young Gray Jay as it's know internationally (nicknames being Canada Jay / Whiskey Jack).

EDIT: Crosspost with Plnelson.

Hi Redtail,

It is a juvenile Gray Jay (a.k.a. Canada Jay) that still has some of the fledgling "gape". The bird you saw it with was probably one of its parents.

Best,
Jim
