I'm not as familiar with hooded crows since (sadly) we don't have them here. I would guess though that by the brownish tint on the feathers that are normally much darker, that that's a yearling? I know that with the black crows (not the band, lol), the yearlings' feathers don't turn black until after their second molt. And the fledglings still have the pink gape in their mouth corners.
So ultimately still a young crow!

Hooded crows are different than the black ones, but you are our expert and I trust you know better than me 🙂
The bird was pretty calm and not afraid at all. And the size definetely smaller than the other crows. The browinsh tint was something I have never seen before. So, yearling could be. Amazing how many words the birds got to describe each stage since they hatch up to adulthood.
Thank you very much for your comment!
A pleasure!
Also, I'm no expert, just an addict.😆
