Young grackle with warble fly larva in its neck, maybe.

Looks like a young cowbird.

Beak is far too narrow (especially the lower mandible) for a cowbird,
and the bird's overall length too long, going by the tray size.

The upper back and neck is the area where you are most likely to
find warbles (botfly larvae) as those areas are the hardest for the
victim to groom. A number of the rabbits I've trapped have had
warbles on their necks.
