I think it is a curve billed thrasher. I found this site, scroll down a little, and there is a picture of a very similar looking bird http://delta.cs.cinvestav.mx/~debrup/mexicoBirds.htm

re:
A mexican bird, some 12in long and very agressive, it reminds me of the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park, I love it, it comes daily to my house to feed from the birdseed I scatter. All the doves and sparrows fear it.SandRider wrote:some kind of starling, maybe. where from ? how big ?

There are a lot of Brown Thrashers around here, they are our state bird and VERY agressive. It's also the name of our hockey team but I don't like to talk about them. I've seen the brown thrasher attack much larger birds like ravens, hawks and falcons, even domestic cats!
Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.
