I took this today (10/21/2017) in Jacksonville, Fl. May be a Swainson's .Sorry for the partial pic, but this was the only shot I could get before it ran back in the brush. I photographed one a few weeks ago, but it was much fuller shot.
Thanks in advance,

Newton

Thanks everyone, I updated my post to include Swainson's before anyone read it, at least I hoped I did. They look similar, at least to my untrained eye. However, I am happy with Swainson's as they are almost as rare in my yard as the Wood Thrush and will be the first ebird report tick of the Swainson's for me this year.

Thanks again,

Newton

Swainson's for me, Wood Thrush has a lovely bright top to the head which is very obvious in the field.
