I believe that is called a "Varied Thrush" I see them around the feeder from time to time.

 They are also called Alaska Robbins in some locales. Your very lucky, they are not feeder birds, very shy usually.

Thanks, everyone was asking what it was as we looked out the front window. Never seen one like it at the feeder before. We have tons of the Toh-Hee's (?) not sure on the spelling either.

Yep, seen a few of them as well. Plus, the little guys we called Snow Birds when we were kids.
