CLOSED: Can you identify this bird for me?

Memphis, TN

They travel in flocks and make almost as much noise as Grackles but they don't look like the Grackles we normally have here in Memphis this time of year. I appreciate your help.

Miss Mary,

That light colored eye looks like either Brewer's or Rusty Blackbird to me. Rusty is more likely in Memphis, but ??? I don't know. Look forward to seeing what the experts call this one.

Patti, I was wondering if it was some kind of blackbird but just wasn't sure. Thanks for your thoughts.

Rusty Blackbird - note the way the tail is slightly fan-shaped at the tip.
