Euphagus cyanocephalus

Brewer's Blackbird

The subject is identified as a Brewer's Blackbird based on its entirely black, glossy plumage with visible blue-green iridescence on the head and neck, a prominent pale yellow eye, and a pointed black bill. These features, particularly the combination of the eye color and the specific iridescence, are characteristic of a male of this species. The location in Utah is well within its year-round range.
