I saw this robin-sized bird in our northern Illinois backyard feeder area on 5/24/15. It was walking on the ground, tried to hide in some low vegetation then flew into a bush. The interesting characteristics are the tan chest with black spots, the long beak and the short tail. I cannot find it in my Birds of Illinois Field Guide.
