Blue jay.

Could be a indigo bunting, male

Beautiful bird but note the feather in question has marks of barring, which this bird doesn't show. Jays jave barred feathers though

Looks like it could be Steller's Jay.

Definitely a blue jay

The US Fish & Wildlife Service has a feather atlas to help people ID North American birds.

It’s not perfect as they may only have feathers from one or two individuals, and like people birds of the same species aren’t all identical. But it’s still a good resource. Plus it has an Identify My Feather feature that’s fun and interesting to use.
