Hmmm. Not a lot to go on here, but it's a juvenile: possibly a grackle, but more likely a starling.

Not much to go on here, but the curved bill would suggest Juvi Common Grackle to me over Juvi Starling.

I have alot of these at my bird feeder now I would say for sure it is an immature Grackle if the eyes were yellow not positive from the above pic...here is a close up btw looks like they go from Brown to the Glossy Black and Purple as I am starting to observe the colour change..

Beak shape and eye colour confirm Starling. Juveniles are quite conspicuous at this time of year.
