Re: [cobirds] ID?

Thanks for all your help, everybody. Not sure why my app doesn't want to show me thrushes. But no wonder I wasn't finding it in my books. I was in the totally wrong section, trying to make it a sparrow! LOL> Still lots to learn. :-)

I didn't get any pictures of its body, but it's uniformly drab/buff color. No distinctive stripes on or around wings. This is part of what's throwing me off. All the birds in my books seem to have much more striping or color variation on their body and/or wings. Haven't managed to get a good look at it in flight. (Sorry I couldn't get a picture of its body!)
