CLOSED: what kind of bird is this?

Troy, MI

I know the picture quality isn't the best, but I'm hoping someone will know.
It's a bit smaller than a cardinal, and has a shrieking caw rather than a tweet- calls are one long blast, every few seconds.
I'm also fairly certain this is a juvenile.

Found in S.E. Michigan, in a northern suburb of Detroit. It's possible it did not originate from here though. Looks like a wild bird, but was acting domesticated. Wanted to perch on our shoulders and would not leave us alone.
