Encountered some fledglings being fed by adults in some cottonwood trees by an irrigation canal. Hard to get a good look or photo due to shooting from deep shade towards bright light and unable to get a better angle. Very short tail and wings even on adults led me to think some sort of starling at the time, but unable to match pale unmarked face, lightly streaked chest and belly, black tail and black wing markings. Large eyes did look rather like a flycatcher, but body, wing and tail shape don't match that.
