As my quiz grackle photo (with ‘white‘ eye) brought a lot of visitors 
(will  get back to it in day or two) so perhaps there is a chance that  a few 
who  know grackles well will speak out now about them. Here is another photo I 
would  like to hear what is your opinion about the ID of this grackle. I 
already posted  in the past that I am sometimes suspicious about possible 
hybrids in some gulf  populations. If there is an interest and a few people 
like 
to start discussion  on this subject  I will follow up with video (with 
sound) as well. I do not  post many videos because it takes me way too much 
more time to prepare for  upload and, usually, interest is on average about 
5-10 lower (number of viewers)  from number of people checking the photos. So 
why bother; I only process a few  taken videos (for my own use I do not need 
to process anything) and even if  uploaded I often keep them off public 
access. So here we are to start with - how  would you ID this grackle:

I think public discussion could benefit many people but I am willing to  
continue it offline as well if some people want to keep their grackle thoughts 
 private.
