I know these aren't great photos but I'm wondering if anyone can identify this gray bird that I hadn't seen before this week. I'm glad the dove is in the shot because the gray bird definitely bigger than a sparrow

Looks like a Mourning Dove.

Sorry, I meant the other smaller bird.

Ahh!…my mistake, from where I’m sitting looks like a Junco sp?

Perhaps a female Brown-headed Cowbird. It would help if you would identify the location by country and state.

Westchester was in the subject line, Westchester NY

Yes, size and coloration indicate almost certainly a female Brown-headed Cowbird.
And Paul, because this forum is an international forum with people commenting on birds around the world, it would be helpful to include state and country in the title when posting. Usually no need for a specific city.

Even if this were just a national forum, there are at least 3 other Westchesters in the US (California, Illinois, Virginia), not counting West Chester, Pennsylvania. I suspect there may be more in the US and others in other parts of the world.
