Thanks Jellis. I do remember an e-mail too.
Jellis
Checked ebird and there hasn't been any spottings in the east bay and only a few in southern part of the bay a few years ago. I remember an email but not in the east bay.

Liam the major difference I saw from the previously spotted Brewers Blackbirds was that this bird was not as shiny. I will update it as Brewers for now.

We do have flocks of Rusty Blackbirds flying through California. Do not have the shot of the tail.
Liam
The "rusty" coloration in photo 2 looks like noise pixels from the camera to me, not actual feather pigment. A shot of the tail would be definitive, though.

Thank you Jellis!! Great advice:))

Best to check the box for help with ID

Can't see the color of rust but it looks like a Brewer's Blackbird.
