Been watching this bird beneath my feeders for a while now. It looks exactly like the pics of wood thrush with reddish brown color, especially the tail feathers, fat belly but a streaked, not spotted breast. It’s a decent size. I do not see the black lines on the head as in ovenbirds. I’m very familiar with brown thrashers (miss them) and this is not one. Any suggestions?

Will try, next time he gives me a chance😊

I’ll have to check the breast again as maybe what I considered streaks are actually ‘smudged spots’. Chilly and rainy today and tomorrow and I have to be at my desk in front of the window and notice when (s)he comes
