Toxostoma rufum
Brown Thrashers live in open scrubby areas and often are hidden from view down in the brush. This one was in small trees at the edge of a sand pit where I also found Prairie Warblers.

Thanks Gerardo and Megan. These thrushes can all look a bit alike:-)

Thanks Gerardo!
Extraordinary as usual :)
Thanks Jemma!

Thanks for the comments! I was lucky this bird came out into the open for about 10 seconds when I pished.
Debbie, it does look similar to a long-billed Mistle Thrush:-)
Beautiful spotting Tom, its got really similar markings to our Mistle Thrush
