If Merlin is incorrect, I’d love if the experts on here could identify. Thanks so much!
What is your approximate location?
I’m in Central Connecticut, United States. The picture was taken yesterday afternoon
Central CT here, too. Great shot!
To me it looks pretty good for red-winged blackbird, do you hear them around there? They have a very distinct call
It looks more like a fledgling American Robin to me
Who is Merlin?
Merlin is an app by Cornell that uses machines learning to try to identify birds by photos or recorded sounds. It’s pretty amazing. Here’s the link to the Android version.

Sweet, thanks!
I use Merlin, but for identifying birds using the sound ID feature. It’s amazing who’s around that you can hear but not see!
