What kind of bird is this? (1 Viewer)

This morning we saw a bird in our backyard that I am unable to identify. It looks somethign like a Warbling Vireo, but its belly has no white (from what I was able to see) and is grey, and behind its legs it has a reddish or rust colored patch. Can anyone help me out?

Oh, and a few weeks ago, we saw an Oriole! It was so pretty, just flying through the trees by the side of the road :) Im thinking it was a Baltimore Oriole, but it was more orange-y rather than yellow colored.
 
If by grey you mean dark grey, and the whole bird is the same grey colour, except for the rusty undertail coverts, and a black cap, then that would definately be a grey catbird.

It has a dark grey (black?) cap and tail, while the rest is kind of a medium grey, besides the spot under its tail.
