Identification help!

Once saw a pilated woodpecker near this area but have several times seen this bird emerging from the hole in a dead cypress tree on the northern gulf coast.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Not a lot of field marks there, but by bill color and shape, shiny black and habitat, you've got a Eurasian Starling in breeding plumage.

Thank you, Jim!  This is an unusual sight and bird for me, especially emerging from what I consider to be a "woodpecker" hole.  

They are notorious cavity nest thieves and have done a lot of damage to native species.

Here's one that has stolen a Gila Woodpecker cavity in a saguaro cactus in AZ.
