I agree that it's a Catharus thrush, with Swainson's being probably the
best guess.

(and thanks for the unsplit link!)

Best birding,

Stefan

Hi, Charles.

I hope that I don't lead us down the wrong path, since I am far from an
expert on this, but one of the first things that I notice is that it
appears that the bird has spectacles rather than an eyebrow.  So I would
probably first be thinking about something like a Swainson's thrush.  But
that's just a suggestion.

The URL provided is split, so that it doesn't go directly to the videos.
Here is (hopefully) the unsplit link:

Could someone identify the smaller bird in these videos for me, please?  I
didn't see the bird, as it was captured by my motion triggered camera
around
sunset September 20.  Short tail, striping in throat.  Note the Robin in
the
videos for size comparison.  I'm thinking Northern Waterthrush or ???? Link
to three 10-second videos is:
