Any help appreciated (once again). Saw this guy for the first time today- never seen anything like him before- looks like a piper of some sort, but can't be sure!

Thanks :D

It's a brown thrasher, a mimid - closely related to mockingbirds and catbirds.

It's a Peter Piper, they're especially fond of picking pecks of pickled peppers.
(I agree with Brown Thrasher.)

Liam- ha! Thanks for the laugh.

Thanks Barnswallow & Liam- much appreciated. Haven't come across a guy like this before- another one to add to my list I suppose!
