Can't ID it... reasonable size, like a small dove but leaner. It is pretty solid brown, long pointed beak like a nuthatch. On side of belly is a dark patch with white spots on it. Thanks!

Welcome to Birdforum. Unfortunately it's hard to identify without a photo, but I would say juvenile European Starling.

Thanks Aiden! Unfortunately I'm not equipped to take decent photos but I am almost sure that you are correct. After looking at photos I believe it is a Juvenile European Starling just starting to get his adult coloration. Google totally failed me on this one. Many thanks, much appreciated
