Field Notes

Habitat:

live in deserts and dry, scrubby or brushy habitats, especially along dry creek beds (arroyos) or in canyons and foothills

Notes:

One of the Thrashers. Not the best light for color details I'm afraid. Bendire's, Curve-billed, or Crissal??? Thank you for the ID.

Oh yes, thank you. Even in the shadow you can see the white throat, on closer inspection. Beak seems more slender also.

Lovely spotting! Definitely not Bendire’s. Will post my suggestion shortly. :-)
