It could have been a juvenile cardinal missing head feathers. The siblings sometimes pluck each others feathers out. And the bill or beak wouldn't have turned the bright red color that males get when they mature, the females have a very pale peachy colored beak.

The pigment of their skin is also black to a dark pasty grey, visible when the feathers arent' completely formed or are missing.

I found a link with pictures: check it out because only you know what you saw.

If you live in the general NW US, or Canada, then it was probably the Gray Jay. If it was shorter than 10", basically anywhere in the US, then it could have been the White-breasted Nuthatch.
