Hello,
That's a juvenile Starling. Bill is still growing, therefore a little bit stubby and with a blunt tip ( they get a longer spikes bill when fully grown), but everything else is good for this species, including the triangular black loral patch, whitish chin on a quite uniform brownish bird and brownish fringes to the black wing.
Yes it's from the US so the usual caveats. But your excellent picture looks spot on for this species. Tfs!

I thought that too at first, then I started to second guess myself! Thank you for clearing it up!
