St. Louis magpie

I'm sure I saw a magpie near I-70 in St. Peters on December 10th, 2011. It looked so similar as the kind of magpie found everywhere in China, but it is a different species, the Black-Billed Magpie.

According to following online resource, the magpie has not yet been reported in this region:

Forget the red bird, the Magpies are coming! Everything will be Black'n White then!
