Hermit Thrush is correct.
Also very cool on the yellow House Finch!

Happy Thursday All,
We've had some fun activity in the backyard the past few days. Two days
in a row, we've had a yellow-variant house finch pecking around, which is
always fun. And today we had our first of spring hermit thrush making a
brief stop, before being chased away by a malevolent house sparrow. I think
the contrasting ruddy-brown tail confirms this as a Hermit Thrush as
opposed to a Swainson's Thrush, but I'll always welcome feedback. I've been
wrong before.
Hopefully the photos come through, but if not, the links are here for
iNat and I'll enter ebird reports later:
