I've about wore out Sibley's trying to identify this guy. Best I can come up with is a Grey-cheeked Thrush. Taken yesterday near Great Falls, MT.

To me, it looks a bit more like a Swainson's Thrush. The "spectacled" appearance and obvious eye ring, combined with the buffier looking face, leads me to that ID.

Agree with Swainson's Thrush, because of the same field marks.
Total birds seen: 370
Latest Lifers:
Lark Sparrow, Roseate Spoonbill, Painted Bunting
