NO! That's a CAT!

Seriously, I can't see it nearly well enough (blame my old eyes and this useless cell phone screen) but it doesn't look black, it looks white or grey. Starlings are a kind of irridescent blue-black-green-purple.

Kind of like an oil slick.

Where are you? Is it one of the west coast jays? Surely not a starling, as zensojourner says.

Based on behavior and likelihood, my money is on female House Sparrow unless I see a clearer image proving otherwise.

OK, I finally was able to get a closer picture. It was hard because he or she wanted the bread but didn't want me to get too close.

Oh, I forgot. I live about 30 miles northeast of Nashville, TN. Thanks.

Young mockingbird?

Unless the size is way off - I can't tell, but it looks smallish to me - I'd still say its some sort of sparrow.

Looks like a house wren or house sparrow - probably a juvenile female house sparrow because of the white stripe above its eye and drab coloration.

I agree with others: female house sparrow.

Female house sparrow.
