Juvenile perhaps? But what? Any help would be great, thanks.

Definitely juvenile, at that young age it's hard to ID, usually the best way is to wait for the parent come around. This one looks Kingbird shaped, but I'm not sure.

Was near an Elderberry tree where there was a mixture of Grackles, Starlings, Cowbirds, a Grey Catbird, Robins all of which were feasting on the berries. No other bird came near this one when it was perched here.

Thanks Thomas

Probably a juv. Starling then, even if it looks darker than usual.

Definitely a starling based on the unique shape and (non)pattern. The pictures are underexposed which is why it looks dark.
