Hi All,

Can anyone help with this one.

I think it's a shiny cowbird.

Thanks,

Andy

I'm not able to exclude Brown-headed Cowbird on this photo. I even think that brownish head and darker tail are showing a moulting juvenile male Brown-headed, but not sure. Waiting for more expert opinion.

Thanks Alino,

I was steering towards shiny due to location, the helm guide says shiny are a common resident and brown-headed 'records from Cuba', Andy

I don't know Cuba and I can be wrong. Hope an expert will help.
