I had a really tough time with this one when I first saw it in the field at Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve, and I still have a tough time with the photograph of it now. Hermit and Swainson's Thrushes are equally likely on the bar charts around April 30, 2025.

Merlin built into eBird says it's a
Swainson's Thrush.

I agree with Swainson's, a conclusion I came to before seeing Aidan or merlin....
