Here in Arizona we also see Bronzed Cowbirds, which don't occur up north. They look similar at first glance, but the Bronzed Cowbird is a bit larger, has a thick neck, and sports bright red eyes. Here's one that was outside our kitchen window a few days ago.

Quite a handsome bird. I wonder what species of bird raised this guy.
