Seen yesterday at Jenkins Creek Park. I managed three decent shots before it took off with the grackles. Thought it was Brewer's but I've found out that would be rare here, so it probably isn't one.

Then again, unless it is a rusty, what could it be?

Silverwolf,
Somehow, you found the one known wintering Brewer's Blackbird in peninsular Florida this year! I think this is the third winter there.

Lucky me I guess! I thought I left Brewer's behind in Cal.

Now where are the rusties...

Yes, you got the continuing winter bird at Jenkins Creek Park!

Rusty Blackbird is reliable near Tallahassee. I have often had them at St Marks NWR.
 
We have a flock of 70+ Rusty Blackbirds right now in Gainesville, at the usual spot (Magnolia Parke center, off NW 39th ave)
