I'm having difficulties IDing this particular bird that I saw today, Sunday April 27, in Summerlea Park.

That looks like a female Brown-Headed Cowbird to me.  They're quite common right now.

Title: Female Cowbird

Looks to me to be a female cowbird, you'll often see them in the company of their male counterpart which are easier to identify.
