I think it either a Veery, Hermit or Wood Thrush. I only have this 1 photo.

Not Wood Thrush (more heavily spotted), fairly sure not Veery (less spotted). Tough call between Hermit, Gray-cheeked and Swainson's.

Swainson's Thrush would have more of an eye ring, fairly prominently displayed. I don't really see any gray in the sides of the head (for a Gray-cheeked), so I'll go with a Hermit Thrush, out of habitat (normally a woodland thrush). Did you see the tail doing a slow pump? Hermit! Did it have a reddish tail on top? Hermit!
