Wow, thank you all for advising me on the Brown Thrasher, which I believe
it really is. The yellow eye and the wing bars are real clear indicators.
I will try to get another picture of it with a better view of the beak.

OK, I’ll buy that. I didn’t see the expected downcurve until you pointed it
out, but the yellow eyes are probably more definitive (and the wing-bars).

The bill looks foreshortened because of this pose, but note that it’s all dark,
down-curved and quite pointy. The breast and flanks have streaks rather than
spots; the eye is yellow. The whole color scheme is right for Brown Thrasher,
even down to the white wing bars, which you won’t see on any
I’d so no. Thrasher bill is pronouncedly longer.
