I was asked if I had a few more images
of the top bird on my last post for an ID. Here is two more shots and a better view of the tail. Still doesn't show much markings on the breast.Check it out Sibleys still can't make an ID :frown:
Anyone have an Idea how to make an Id of this bird?
Thanks everyone for your help so far.
Joe

I would say it is a Veery, here is a photo I took of one last year.

Veery, Joe. Birds of North America says,
Upperparts, including back, tail, and wings, uniformly reddish brown; underparts, including throat and chest, buff with only indistinct reddish brown spots. Belly white; pale gray flanks. Pale. Faint eye-ring. Toes and rear of tarsi entirely pallid.

All of which fits your bird pretty well.
