Another Thrush, maybe, USA

This photograph I found in my archives while researching for my other Thrush post. This was taken two years ago in April at the Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. I never have gotten an ID but at the time thought it was either a Swainson's or Gray-cheeked Thrush. Help is really needed on this one.

I'd say Swainson's.

I'd agree with Swainson's - eye-ring looks buffy.
