One of those difficult thrushes

One of my reference books says that the Swainson's Thrush wears spectacles and the Hermit Thrush doesn't, so going with that and the lack of a rusty-coloured back, I will suggest this is a Swainson's.

He's cute, but just looks like a sparrow to me.

He is a thrush. He has a different bill and a different shape. He's also a bit bigger than a house sparrow, though not a lot.
