Need help identifying a bird spotted in Vermont

by Don Allard
(Albany NY USA)

Saw a dark gray bird with white oval breast coloring 4 to 5 inches long that sang a distinctive tick, tick, tick, tick, tick while hiking in a remote area of the Takonick Mtn range near Manchester Ctr VT on an unused trail north of Mt Equinox. 2 of these birds were together 10 to 15 ft in trees as we passed through on hiking trail. Can anyone help me identify?

 Another possibility

While there are Mockingbirds in and around Manchester Center, they are not usually described as dark gray. And size can be confusing as well. How about Dark-eyed Juncos? Small pinkish bills, and the call may have been more in line with them.

Sounds to me from the markings that you may possibly have some mockingbirds in this area.
