Just looks like a Song Thrush to me - but no doubt it isn't.

The tree is one of the shrubby willows. And I'm pretty certain not anywhere in Britain (except perhaps the far south), given how far out in leaf it is already (unless the photo was taken last year)

Spots too clear for Gray-cheeked Thrush and not neat enough for Wood Thrush, so guess it's got to be Hermit Thrush (with a few pence on Fox Sparrow for insurance!)

Looks like an immature Robin except that black mark on the chest (is that the bird or a dead leave or a shadow).
I didn't think they bred in Florida and I wouldn't have been looking for them this early either.

Hermit Thrush would be my second guess, but again that black mark (tell me that's not part of the bird).

Nobody is very near as yet;a further clue is that it was taken in Florida two days ago,was singing and sounded very much like our song thrush.

Brown Thrasher it is;I thought the tail would make it easy.
