CLOSED: Bluebird?

Fayette, IA(Zone 4b)

This is a screen cap from a birdcam video. The shape is right for a bluebird, and at first I thought female, but there's no red visible on the front. Could it be a fledgling? We haven't had bluebirds come in for jelly before - just catbirds and orioles.

Gray Catbird
The color is off on the camera giving it the pink hue. Cool birdcam though. Pretty neat

Thanks for your replies - that definitely makes more sense. We do get lots of gray catbirds here (or maybe it's just one pair multiple times) but up to now they've all looked like this. Why does the one I posted earlier look different? I've seen baby catbirds that I immediately identified as catbirds - is this an immature adult?

There is more glare in the recent pic so it appears he is different.
