Brown Thrasher? We had those when I was growing up in Virginia.
Brown Thrasher - that's it. I've only ever seen the one that visits and he's always alone. Not sure if they are field birds or forest.
For those who want to be amused. We have one of these and it is hilarious. The squirrels do back flips:

Yes, I love woodpeckers...until they start on the cedar siding of my home. There are four big holes now to be patched. And they and not 'drumming' yet, just hoping to find insects in the wood. Grrrrr
