It is very hard to try to identify birds when one is not an official bird watcher. Are you a person we can submit photos to to identify? And how is that bet done? You seem to know a lot about it. It is most difficult to edit on the site as one has to search for the photo again and resubmit it.
Boy the sun in the dessert really makes the back of the Grackle iridescent! Nice shot!
That is a European Starling; note the narrow yellow bill
