This fellow was hanging out with all the seagulls at the duck pond. I have no idea what kind of bird he is. Can any of my bird-watching readers help me out? I love the subtle colors in his feathers. (Her?) EDITED TO ADD: Definitely a “she.” She is a Brewer’s Blackbird.
Also found in Nevada’s Nifty Fifty.

I’ll ask my sister when she turns up, see if she knows

Thanks! (I was just kidding about the “not helpful” part)

I gathered by the wink 😉 But she has books on birds because she has a lot of them turning up in her back garden.

At first I thought it would have been in the blackbird family, but it does not resemble anything I found.
I looked here:

As I am at work, perhaps I’ll let this one go.

She really was cute. Hanging out in the whole gang of seagulls. Didn’t bother her one bit.
