ID thrush, SouthPadreIsland, TX, USA (1 Viewer)

This thrush seems to be a Swainsons with spectacle-look but has too many dark spots and under throat is not buffy. Interesting feather patterns on the head. Tail is not reddish as for a Hermit. Please ID.

The eye-ring and yellow-buff suffusion on the throat combined with the lack of red in the tail all look very good for Swainson's Thrush.

Nice shots!

Thank you all. Yes, this was a cooperative bird.

Agree with Swainson's. They just started showing up down there in good numbers last week. They should be up where I am by the end of next week.
