CLOSED: bird near downtown Chicago

Valparaiso, IN

Can anyone ID this bird? It was seen on the north side of Chicago by Lake Michigan, where the water flows into Diversey Harbor. I've heard there's a migration route along the shore of Lake Michigan so perhaps this fellow was just passing through. Any guesses?

Thank you so much, Resin!

My friend in Chicago has been taking his daughter for nature walks and they see this bird almost every day. She will be so excited to find out what it is! Thank you again.
