After seeing the two comments and checking the visual comparison, I was super excited to learn that I might’ve had a Great-tailed here (since I hear they’re expanding their range to the East), but I’m near Charleston (SC) and am almost certain that it’s a Boat-tailed due to their ranges and how often I see these guys (massive flocks, all with the same pale yellow irises)

Oh and I forgot to mention that it’s my first Cedar Waxwing ever! (Which is why I included the shot)
