I'd say 4 to 5 inches long and maybe 2 inches wide

Alright, then It's a crow secondary wing feather

Awesome thank you! I almost wondered if it was a bald eagle secondary. We have tons of them here as well.

If you wanna know if a feather is a bald eagle feather... It would be 27-31 cm long (for secondary feathers) and it would be dark brown with white at the bottom.

You could also use a website called "Feather Atlas" it's a very good feather identification website! But it only shows wing and tail feathers. It helped me out a lot though
