Mystery bird

i saw a puzzling bird on my morning walk along the pond. It was a friendly small brown bird with some streaking on the upper breast, white eye ring, pink legs. At first I considered a type or wren but the tail didn't seem like a wren. I think it was some type of thrush or maybe a Veery or Ovenbird. Then i went home and read Veery is more reddish brown and this was not.

The pond actually has a thin layer of ice for the first time this fall/winter.

My trail feeder has many Titmouse and Chickadee this morning and the yard feeders had Blue Jays, Mourning Dove and House Sparrows.
