In all the birding classes I’ve taken, that is referred to as an “LBJ,” or
“Little Brow Jobbie”.
Probably a fledgeling, which would also explain it’s behaviour - momma hasn’t
taught it to mistrust humans yet.
Young birds tend to look pretty similar.

Good! Perhaps momma will find it, and explain how dangerous it is to keep
company with apex predators.
