Thrush?
That spotted breast reminds me of a thrush. Maybe a hermit thrush?

Hermit Thrush
Yes, Hermit Thrush in its very characteristic pose with wing tips slightly down. Has short bill with black tip, dark spots on light almost white breast but not extending downward to underparts. Most diagnostic and separating it from other Thrushes is the rusty tail.
