A Mystery Bird?

Looking for a blip today and the pickings were slim. We traveled to Connecticut to visit my sister and her son. We were in the car for 5 hours, than in the facility for another 4.

We were walking from the car, when this bird hoped onto a trash container in the yard. He was looking for dinner, I think. Anyway, he posed for me, so I could not resist. The only problem is, I do not know what type of bird he is.

If anyone knows, please post.
