ID help

["Cathleen Caron" <CathyC at weider dot com>]

I was wondering if I could get some help with identification of a new
bird I saw in my backyard two days ago. I have never seen one like it
that I can recall.  I am a novice birder and I have scoured my Sibley
book, but can't find what I saw.  The bird was robin-like in size and
form. It had a white throat with a white stripe over it's eyes. The top
of its head and back were rusty colored and the rest grayish.
Unfortunately other details are already fading from my memory, but I
believe it's belly was un-speckled and light in color. It was foraging
around in the dirt under my pine tree.  I thought it must be some kind
of thrush, but nothing in the book seems quite right. Any help would be
greatly appreciated!
