    Black and White Bird

    Bronx, NY

    I've seen a Robin-sized bird that's mostly black and white that I can't identify to save my life.  Similar in shape/size to a robin, dark gray upperparts with black hood and a darker/black streak in the middle of its tail.  Belly and throat are white without marks, beak is yellow.  White eyering, though it doesn't show up very well in the photos (which are not very good - only had my cell phone.)  It looks oddly common; I was sure it was some kind of Robin, but I'm apparently wrong.  but I can't find it in any bird books or on this site.  Any ideas?  It's driving me crazy.

    Thanks,

    Leslie
