CLOSED: What Thrush

Rockport, TX(Zone 9a)

There were two of these birds, but it was very early in the morning and too dark for decent photos. They seemed quite a bit smaller than the Swainson's Thrush that I saw the other day. They were barely bigger than a sparrow. Can you tell what it is from this photo?

Certainly a Catharus thrush. Probably Swainson's again, but not a good enough pic to tell for 100% certainty, I fear.

I thought it was probably a Swainson's too. They both just seemed so small but when I looked up thrushes Swainson's was one of the smallest. Maybe the one that stopped by the other day was just unusually big.

Thanks for your help.
