A few people told me this is Steller's Jay x California Scrub Jay Hybrid.
But at the same time I think it looks very similar to Woodhouse's scrub jay.
Pinned location is just for general location, this bird is found in my backyard and I don't want to reveal my location. I live in Sunshine Hills tho.
