My 9 year old is guessing house sparrow.  I would almost think Song sparrow, but I do not think they are bigger than white-throated.

Ok, I've had never seen a White - throated Sparrow before so I did not know the size; I thought it would be about the size of a House Sparrow.  I just googled the size for a White-throated and it is about the same size as the species in the pic.  Sorry about that Liam.  No, it is not a sparrow or a dove.

I was thinking about this just now and wonder if they are juvenile robins.

I am taking a wild guess here, but could they be gray catbirds?  I've never id'ed one, so am not familiar with them.

Wild guess based on my Illinois field guide and your clue about Robins: Gray-cheeked Thrush?

Stay on the same track as KRIZDA88's guess and you'll have it soon.

I'll say wood thrush.  I am guessing the look of gray in the picture is not their color.  Was it a cloudy day?
