Rufous-backed Thrush ( Robin )
Residence of West Mexico not the U.S.
However in the winter we here in Arizona may see one or two.
Throat is white with heavy black streaks. Note the bright pink bill. The rufous color wraps around from the breast to and up on the back. Not much difference if any in the sexes. Likes arid to semihumid deciduous & semideciduous forest. Mostly stays on the ground, especially when feeding. In Arizona in the winter they will mix in with flocks of American Robins. Eggs white with reddish brown marks.
Map & range may not be to any particular scale.
