Hello,

I was in Yucatan this spring and saw what I think was the same bird over several days in late April and early May. It was rather skittish and always hid in vegetation, so these are the best photos I managed to get.
My guess would be veery but I'm really not great with Catharus thrushes, so I'd appreciate some expert help.
The first 2 photos were taken on April 28th, and the last 3 on April 30th.

Thanks a lot
T

That would be a large bill for a Veery I think?

I might got for Grey-cheeked, the half eye ring to the rear of the eye would fit?

Looks Veery to me, rather warm rufous with fairly diffuse brown spots.
