    Stephen, do you have other photos of this bird? The angle makes it hard to tell, but between its color, and what I think I am seeing of its bill, it looks more like some sort of Furnarid than a Catharus thrush. Maybe a hornero or a cinclodes? Posted 7 years ago

      I agree that this does not look like a Swainsons Thrush, removed the ID for now. Posted 7 years ago

    Thank you Thibaud and fchristant. At the time the nearest I could find was a Swainsons Thrush but based on your advise I am fairly certain it is a Rufous Hornero. Posted 7 years ago
