Anyone recognize this bird?

This bird eats fruit and will not touch the thistle, blackoil sunflower seeds nor nuts, at least so far.
I cannot identify him or her. I hope to get a better picture but this guy is extremely edgy.

Well thank you. I kept going back to that id but decided it was not right. Looked at audubons picture and the light came on.
Appreciate it. :thumbup:

Thanks for the replies and guesses but it is a Catbird. I finally got a rear view and under its tail feathers was the familiar brown patch. This bird appeared more black than grey at first.

Angles and perspective make a big difference in ID. I thought it looked to small for a catbird, and from the responses of looking like a wren, so did others.

The black cap on a mockingbird size and shaped bird is pretty defining for the Grey Catbird.

Catbird, of course! A great bird. We have one that hangs around. The real member of the family. Check out their rump.

I'm right sure it's a Grey Catbird. At my feeders, catbirds love the peanut butter Suite. Below the tail, catbirds have a small area of reddish to brown colored feathers. It's hard to notice most of the time. My experience with them, is, they are right brave to my presents.
