Can anyone identify this little bird

It’s developing a tuft which it raises and lowers at will

It’s a plain little bird. Not much in the way of identifying markings.

Looks like a finch...

Many.

It looks like a tanager in shape but the beak is black and it has no yellow on its top feathers or any red. It’s legs are black. But it’s close. I’m saying you may be right.

Beak is too long.

A swallow. Maybe African or European. Can it grip a coconut?

I would guess a male Robbin.

Titmouse or Kingbird was my first guess...cresting would make me think Juniper Titmouse - cant really tell how small this one is tho from the photo

Is it a fresh coconut or one that’s been washed up in the tide. I think we have to account for water retention. As it were.

6-7 inches inc. tail. He is olive green/ brown. Slightly creamy yellow under tail. Slightly, it’s hard to see anymore.

That large is making me think Kingbird then

I thought that also. I haven’t ruled it out.

It looks like it may be getting a black streak behind it’s eye.

Chiff Chaff.

It's a Sputzie. :)

The great crested, lesser spotted marsh haggii

His first name is Jack.

IMO, that's a grackle. Look at the beak.

It’s not a tit.

Birds aren't real they're government spies..

A great crested flycatcher?

Any developments, OP?

Just curious if you ever found out what type of bird this was.

Did you ever figure out what it is??

I clearly see it, its an Albatross

:D

He's a cute little bugger

She has a flock of peacocks and an aviary which includes an emu!

I'm guessing she has a library of bird books.

I right clicked the image and selected "Search image with Google Lens". It gave me about 30 birds that look similar, non of which I have heard of or are native to the US.

Is there a bird ID app where you take a couple photos of the bird and it identifies it for you? There must be. Not that it would be reliable.

How about a Brown winged Schiffornis?
