Observation details

Small thrasher. Relatively short, darkish, slightly decurved bill. Distinct black streaking on fairly pale underparts. Overall grayish brown above. Good looks (but brief) by multiple birders. Fairly skulky behavior -- stayed in brush/short trees at 15ft or less. Considered other (expected) Thrashers -- Brown and Curve-billed. Discounted both since they would have longer, more noticeable, decurved bills -- Curve-billed would faint round spots below -- and Brown would have been a brighter rufous above. Considered Hermit Thrush (which was also seen on the survey -- Riparian area), but Hermit Thrush would have had noticeable spotting below and a distinct eye-ring
