Saw this in Nebraska U.S

saw this smallish bird with striking dot pattern in a park in nebraska. 8.5oz redbull can for scale.

flew away before i thought to grab a picture. drew it from memory as best i could.

edit: so far from the suggestions below, the closet thing seems to be a common starling.

How do I know to us "hacer" versus "estar" to describe states

The title isn't exactly obvious. What I mean is describing how things are right now.

For example the weather, when saying "its hot outside" my understanding is you dont say: "esta calor" you would instead say "hace calor". Is this true of all weather? if I want to say "it's raining outside" is it "está lloviendo afuera" or "hace lloviendo afuera", and how do i tell the difference for other examples?

Similarly like if i enter a room and its dark inside, would I say "esta oscuro" or "hace oscuro" and would the answer chang if I was instead talking about how its dark outside?

I think theres something I am missing here and I hope you can illuminate that for me.

Sorry if this is a bit rambly, im just trying to explain what im uncertain about.

edit: thanks guys I appreciate the responses. It seems to come down to the fact that I didn't know "calor" was a noun and not an adjective. So it seems like the correct construction is:

Hacer + noun
Estar + adjective

very illuminating, thank you

[Request] Could a battery produce a laser strong enough to go through 3 heads?

Forgive me for referencing pickle rick but the meme has died down enough that i feel comfortable asking a curious question. In the episode, rick shoots a laser which goes clear through 3 human heads. My question is assuming this is a AA battery, does one battery hold enough energy, if instantly and perfectly converted into a laser, to actually burn through 3 human heads?

For the sake of simplicity I'm assuming the energy of the battery is perfectly converted to the laser with no losses. but if you have some plausible losses you'd like to include then you can if you like.

Anyone notice the similarities between the first episode and the movie "Contact"?

the beginning where the seti researchers find the signal, and decode it just reminded me a lot of contact. I almost wonder if it was an inspiration. sort of like what if "contact" except what they had us build wasn't good.
