In my area noisy miner birds are common, and this is one i got a photo of recently.

I hope small watermarks are ok, and can repost without if its a problem.

Yes, there are also Mynas around (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myna (link with pic for differences. )) but these ones also hang around a bit too. Id say they're mostly grey with some dark patches.
Edit: original comment might have come off as rude/condesending. I gave link so we both have the same reference point and didn't want to re-post image directly so it couldn't be misconstrued as mine. I looked at the wikipedia page recently and noted there were many myna species, but i meant the pictured myna is also nearby too.
