Jamaica id help please (1 Viewer)

[cbutler]

A couple from a cruise to Caribbean and Central America.
The Dove is from Jamaica unsure about the Thrush.
Any ideas welcome

1. A species of icterid (grackle, blackbird) rather than a thrush. I would urge you to try and figure out where you took the photo, as it might be unwise to attempt ID without knowing the location.
2. I think juvenile mourning dove.

Agree with dove. Grackle is most likely Carib but as Butty says, a location would be good 👍

Not a grackle I suggest: bill too short and stubby, and shape at gape wrong. If in range, could be shiny cowbird. (Difficult to judge tail length here because of foreshortening due to angle)

Agreed, cowbird better fit - was v late last night.....🤣
