 I had originally id'd this as the brewers blackbird, but I think timfythetoo is right that it is the common grackle.

Comparing the two on whatbird, the colors don't look quite right for the grackle, but the beak seems to be a better match. I think you may be right. I'm going to change it. Thanks!

Accurate colors. Look at that eye, which is also accurate. We see these in CO only during migration.
