I thought at first female Grackle or Cowbird. The more I looked the less I was sure it was either one. This was taken this morning on Tybee Island, GA in a borrow pit. there were 4 or 5 of these feeding on minnows.

I'm for a female grackle. The bill is too narrow for a cowbird.

Do you have any views showing the bill more from the side?

This one looks more like a Grackle. I just never saw one with a streaked breast.

This second view helps. Definitely a grackle.
