This was taken at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge near Willows, CA. Is it a thrush or what?  Too far away to get a really good shot. It was wading in the shallows. This is about 25% of the original frame.

Ed, I believe this is an American Pipit.

I agree with Matt

Thank you Matt and Nate. I ran across the American Pipit as I was searching for an ID, but wasn't sure. My field guides seemed to indicate the pipits are usually at higher elevations. Thanks for your help.
