It's a Starling. The glare on the bill is making it look curved.

Amazing how the light makes birds look different....
I would question a raptor on the peanuts , but like us humans , i guess times are tough..

Wierd how in the thumbnail it just looks like a starling to me.
I didn't even get what was going on with the beak until I went back and looked at the full size image. |
