Brown Headed Cowbird? Meridian Idaho, United States (1 Viewer)

[Procreus]

Hello! I was walking through the park earlier today and this bird was sitting right by the path and didn’t move as I got closer. I thought it might be injured because it wasn’t moving at all, but a Brewer’s Blackbird showed up and they started looking for food together on the ground. I think it might be a female brown headed cowbird, but I’m rather new to birdwatching and don’t really know for sure

Any help is greatly appreciated!

It's a female Brewer's Blackbird. The bill is too thin and the tail is too dark for female cowbird.

Thanks! For some reason I had it in my head the female Brewer’s Blackbird was black like the male, but that’s definitely it! Thank you very much!
