Photo of CLOSED: Is that really a Boat-tailed Grackle?

Hi, I see this picture on the Boat-tailed Grackle page of the Cornell bird website (http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/boat-tailed_grackle/id)
But I think it looks more like a Great-tailed Grackle. See its yellow eyes and flat head. They are expert, so they are probably right. But I'm confused. How to tell Great-tailed Grackle from Boat-tailed Grackle then?

Thanks,
Cui
