As part of the Tridelphia CBC (and FeederWatch), I've been 
watching my feeder birds in Laurel, MD (PG County) today. 
I've got a mystery bird for which I seek ID help.  Photos 
and 2 movies here:

Some notes: the bird seems smaller (lengthwise) than a Blue 
Jay and marginally larger than starling and cardinal.  It's 
been in the yard for over an hour now, feeding on worms and 
cracked corn.  It's a bit skittish, and flicks its tail a 
lot.  I have my guess, but I'm not certain at all about the 
ID.  Any/all help appreciated!  I will report the consensus 
opinion.
