No Liam, I'm with you on Shiny Cowbird. There's no way I'm seeing a crow's bill there (it almost looks like a sparrow's) And although rare I guess, if you are going to spot one, the west coast of FL is a good place. I vote Shiny Cowbird (Molothrus bonariensis).
Looks almost like a Shiny Cowbird (Molothrus bonariensis), which are rare. Doesn't seem to be a Common Grackle (Quiscalus quiscula) or Boat-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus major), which both have longer tails, and the head isn't brown enough for Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater). It could be an American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), but it seems too small. That could just be the picture, though. I think American Crow is most likely.
