Small Grey Birds (1 Viewer)

[birdbath]

I recently saw these small grey birds in front of my home in Ottawa. At first I assumed they were Dark-eyed Juncos but they seem a bit larger and with longer beaks, so I'm not sure what species they are and they may be a new sighting for me.

Can someone please help ID them?

Thanks.

Starlings.

Starlings.

I didn't realize starlings could be grey (I thought they were black and/or brown.

Well, the photos seem a bit on the bright side which makes the Starlings look a bit paler than they really are but for me I see the street is grey and the birds are black

They look brownish to me which would mean they are juveniles.

I had thought of Starlings but was convinced these birds were grey, but I suppose they are somewhat brown. So, Starling it is.
