You lost me with the yellow feet and the crescent moon UNDER the eye.
Otherwise, according to Sibley, I would be inclined to say 1st year Veery.
Do I win?? :-)

> I am in the Thrush family, and appear to be fully grown. Irene Ries saw
me yesterday at Pocahontas State Park, and rifled through her guide for a
full 30 minutes, trying to figure out which species I am. I have a pale
breast with nearly no spotting, but I do have the two characteristic stripes
just under my beak on each side, running vertically. My chest is pale gray
to white, actually, and I have yellow feet. I have no specles nor eyering,
but a dark gray-brown "crescent moon" marking under my eye. I wouldn't sing
for Irene, so she didn't hear my voice.
