Sighted this bird in Central New York on 6/19/08. I'm really new at this and it's much more difficult than I thought it would be! Seems like this might be a Thrush? Thanks for any help!

Looks more like a female red-winged blackbird.  Here is a link to a page about them

Doh! (he says smacking his forehead) ... I'm so wrapped up in figuring out what it is that I forgot the common sense line of thought. Yes, there's quite a clan of red-winged blackbirds in this spot! Thank you.
