Boat-tailed Grackle (Female)

Sarasota, Florida

Held off posting this image because I was unsure of identification. When 1st posted, identified as a female Brewer's Blackbird.
A year later, on a return trip to the Celery Fields area just East of Sarasota, spotted several similar birds, this time with males during their breeding antics.
Best viewed in 'original' size.
