[brace for amazing photography] New bird at the feeder - Black - 11-14-2015
After a long time of hoardes of sparrows, one dove, and a pair of cardinals, finally saw something new in the yard today. I'm 99.9% sure on an ID but thought I'd give y'all a chance to show your impressive knowledge of birds. I'm in Chicago...

A hint-- I noticed it because of the contrast between light underside and darker everything else, and small orange beak (two traits not common to the usual sparrows.)

I'm pretty sure it isn't a Flamingo

Don't know what others are seeing, but the resolution on my screen is so poor that I can't even be sure where the bird stops and the ground starts.
Do you have any better images?

Another hint: Chicago is in Illinois.
