CLOSED: What Thrush

Whiteside County, IL(Zone 5a)

I'm looking at Sibley's but I just can't decide. My guess is Swainson's.

I'd say Swainson's... but if I'm wrong, then it's gray-cheeked, LOL!

The chest specks just didn't seem as dark as in my Sibleys. However mine seemed to look more like the Pacific version. *shrug*

Swainson's for me too; Gray-cheeked doesn't have the buffy tone on the pale spot between the bill and eye, more greyish-white there.
