Found in Toledo, Ohio, a rather large city. It looks as much like a far out-of-range Shiny Cowbird as anything else. Or an aberrant Rusty with a dark eye. Certainly not a grackle. I notice the website has posited no i.d. either.
PS: not melanistic; we have many other possibilities to choose from...
