Northern Waterthrush (Parkesia noveboracensis)

Not actually a thrush, the two waterthrush species are in the warbler family (Parulidae). However both look and act more like a Spotted Sandpiper, foraging along water edges bobbing their rear ends up-and-down. Note the narrower buffy eyebrow, smaller bill, more spotted throat, buffy belly and duller pink legs cf. similar Louisiana Waterthrush. Formerly in the genus "Seiurus."
