A somewhat large magpie sitting in the rain on a brown wood fence. Dark leaves from a tree sit behind the wet & shaggy bird.

What country? It's not like any magpie I've seen, they have white across the back.

North American /black billed magpie. Alaska /Canada native. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-billed_magpie

These are all Australian magpies, which, apparently, aren't "real" magpies.

Perhaps a currowong and a magpie both got into the wrong bin food and banged out that monstrosity.

It appears to be a crow or raven.

It’s def a magpie, but It DOES seem to have raven like features.

Excellent photo

Still very nice looking, all the same.

I can't shake the feeling that it looks a little raven like. The head is big, the body is rounder the beak seems really big for a magpie. It just looks weird to me. Im obsessed.
