Is this a thrush or an ovenbird?

We had an ovenbird in our yard the other day but this one looks different. Is it a thrush?

not Ovenbird ( smaller and would have a orange-reddish cap)...is a thrush but not sure which one by these pics , looks like you shot thru window

You're right! I shot through the screen door! Do these two photos help at all?

With that weak eye-ring it could be a Gray-cheeked Thrush (the other alternative is Swainson's Thrush)

Hard to know how much detail was lost through the screen door, but it does look like a Gray-cheeked to me.
