What is this? Graphic (sort-of) dead bird pic.

Yeah, I am thinking you are pretty close if not spot-on, preppy. Though he was badly damaged, the beak was not flattened or anything. He looks to have a bit of brown on his wings too, we just didn't flip him to see what his back looked like.
 
He had been ran over in a parking lot.

It seems sad to me, I always slow up and wait for the little birds to move. With that color he would have been hard to miss. Seems a shame the only one I have ever seen was in this condition.

Ew - can't fault you there!

When I was a kid we noticed Dad's grill (car) moving. Dead bird complete w/maggots. I threw up.

EEEEEWWWWW.......things like that are pretty awful!!! We found a gopher like that in our drive one day. I guess a neighbor animal brought it to us. The kids were squealing MOMMMMMMMMMM there is a dead animal moving around in the drive!!!

The beak looks like a Grosbeak or a Bunting.

I agree, the closest I could find in my bird books is a Blue Grosbeak that lives in your area. It says "the male is dark blue with 2 chestnut wing bars and a stout dark beak". What a pretty color!​
 
I'm going to guess indigo bunting.. it's about the right time for them to be moving through. Beautiful fast darting birds.

Probably darted out in front of a moving car.
