Had this bird in our yard earlier today. Don’t ever recall seeing a bird this wet before.  It was around for about half an hour and then flew off. Seemed to have strength and full mobility.  At first, I thought
it was some sort of sparrow, but the more I look the more I doubt that. Seems too much black on the head.

I would welcome thoughts on what it is and if it is just wet, or ill.

Thanks,
