brown-headed cowbird
I think it's a female brown-headed cowbird. The only other member of the group with such coloring in Alberta is Brewer's blackbird, with a longer-looking bill (although foreshortening can make that misleading).

Brown Headed Cowbird (female)
The dark gray conical bill is distinctive.
