Tough one. The blue egg is a cowbird. The three other eggs look like Carolina wren eggs, but the nest is cup nest. Possibly phoebe.
Using the Nestwatch tool, it could be a junco. I think the nest is just too big for a flycatcher.

Maybe Carolina Wren with cowbird eggs. Or phoebe eggs with a cowbird egg.
