Oh, we have Madder than a Wet Mockingbird in the snow too
here’s my buddy, i’m going to post this picture in a separate post in a bit but i’ll also put it here so you can see the difference in proportions
it can get tricky with bird ID from a tight shot because you get no size information but the Mockingbird in life is also substantially larger
“My buddy” Mockingbird has extra white in his tail but you can’t see it from this angle

“i would have laughed if you told better jokes”-- grimly serious Laughing Falcon, probably
(PS- love these birbs!)

@GlassHalfHopeful @Peanutbuttergrits
not sure where they saw it, but if i saw it around here, i’d call it as Common Grackle
they do have that amount of brown but it’s a play of light type of thing where most of the time they just look like an all-over black bird until the light is striking their plumage at the right angle
