Help Identify Please

I found this bird in one of my flower gardens along the front of my house.
I have never seen one like this before and have no idea what type it is.
It may be an immature that left the nest too early. It has the long, thin shaped beak of a blackbird or warbler. The beak and tail are black, and the top of its head is black but it is all grey otherwise.
The tail is rather long and square.
It was dazed when I first found it, so I put it up on the deck where it could recover safely from my cat. It did eventually fly away.
Any help identifying would be helpful. I could not find in my bird books.
I looked in a guide thing and thiiink it's a Gray Catbird?

You are probably right! Thank you. The photo in my 'Birds of Ontario' book has the colouring completely wrong - which is why I never noticed it before but now see it better when I googled it.
Thanks so much!

Grey catbird as said/. They love grape jelly. https://365project.org/joansmor/365/2015-06-10

I'm glad it has been identified. I'm also glad he recovered and was able to fly away.

I have one of those Audubon bird guides and they aren't easy to use to identify birds if one is an amateur (which I am). Nice to see different birds at one's home.
