Could someone help me identify the all-black birds in the two videos from my bird feeder cam this afternoon.

Reply directly to jblondell@xxxxxxx unless I've stumbled across something really rare, then reply to list.

Each video is just a minute long and has close ups of all black birds, with black eyes, and a thick beak. Has to be female cowbirds I guess, but guide books say they should be paler gray-brown (Sibley) and these don't look right?
