Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Wood thrush? (1 Viewer)

Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Is this a wood thrush?

No, Wood Thrush has a much warmer brown color. This looks like a Swainson's Thrush.

Could you give the date, please? Thanks.
No - not enough rufous and far too few spots for wood thrush. It's one of the unidentifiable (by me!) Catharus thrushes: grey-cheeked thrush or Swainson's thrush; no apparent rufous in tail so I guess not hermit thrush.

I'm leaning towards a Swainson's and a great image!

Swainson's thrush. Warm, buffy tones in the eyering, lores, malar stripe (or is it sub-moustachial?), and cheeks. Grey-cheeked is more, well, grey in those areas.

Malar.
