Some kind of sparrow? Eastern Ontario, Canada (1 Viewer)

[Gordon W]

Saw this small bird yesterday in eastern Ontario, Canada and I have no idea what kind it is. First thought was a sparrow or thrush of some kind, but can't find any that look like this. Does anyone recognize it?

With an unknown bird always look first at the bill-shape. That means that this can't be a sparrow. It's one of the two species of waterthrush (which are warblers).

Northern Waterthrush. Too much spotting on the throat for Louisiana.

Agree with D Halas.

 

[KC Foggin]

Yup! A Waterthrush.

It is probably a Northern watertrush.
