Is this a Juvenile Blue Jay or Hybrid? I found it in my friends backyard in Ridgeway, Ontario, near Fort Erie, Ontario.

Thanks.

Looks like a bluejay that just took a bath.

But why is his head all black, and this Blue Jays' head isn't?

Looks like its lost some feathers, could be a molt. Or like you said a juv with feathers no grown in yet in that area.
