For waterthrushes you need crisp clear images, or you're guessing what's 'real'. My guess is Northern.

Agreed the pics aren't good enough for certain ID, my guess is Louisiana.

Fair enough. Looking at these pics I make it:-
Pro Louie- pale legs, maybe more well spaced flank streaks.
Pro Northie- small bill, white super in front of eye, narrow rear super, streaked throat, is that mangroves (?)
which of these features are actually true to what the bird would actually look like in real life?

Did it go "chink" or "CHINK"?

Cant remember the voice. Habitat was kind of mangrove... but only very thin belt round the "lake".
Northern is more common than Louisianan, but both are quite common in Cuba at wintertime. If I had understand right...

Thanks Andy, Larry and Grousemore. I put it in Northern-folder then.
