Hi

I took this pic in late 2007 in Mexico. Not a particularly vibrant catch by any means, but I have no idea what it is. Can anyone help?

Whatever the resident big grackle is in that bit (which bit?) of Mexico.
Great-tailed grackle, at a guess - maybe an immature male.

It was taken in either Mazatlan or Puerto Vallarta (It's standing on the balustrade of a cruise liner)
