Captured this photo 10/16/2012 in Wheaton, MD. Walking in deciduous forest park area. My first inclination is Swainson's Thrush. Only other close ID to me would be Hermit thrush but the eye ring doesn't seem white enough for Hermit Thrush. Can anyone confirm?

Agree with Hermit Thrush. You can see a bit of the contrasting red on the wings and tail and it lacks the buffy "spectacles"

Thanks for the warm welcome and input. I'm having a good time looking for new birds, since I'm fairly new at this I can find something new quite often.
