Wood Thrush (or some type of Thrush and a Brown Thrasher

This may be a Wood Thrush or some other type of Thrush.

 

 

This a photo from 2013 I took that looked like what I saw above...

 

 

Then a day or two later I saw this bird and to me the tail was longer and it seemed bigger and I have my first Brown Thrasher in nine years here.

 

What kind of bird is this?

I saw this bird land in my yard and my first thought was a Brown Thrasher due to the coloring.  But the size and shape were wrong.  It looked like a small Robin in shape.  But it seemed bigger than a sparrow.  Got my bird book out and decided I saw a Fox Sparrow (which are migratory).

Ater talking with my brother Dean, he thought is was more likely a Wood Thrush.  It's a good bet he's right.  I got my interest in birds from him.

Below are two pictures I took.  And below those, I've posted pictures from the internet to compare a Fox Sparrow to a Wood Thrush.  Hard to distinguish.
