I came across this photo recently and am trying to id the bird. Merlin says American Pipit, but the beak shape and color is making me doubt it.

Possibly American Robin?
Note: red belly

I am thinking Robin as looks like red belly, beak shape is about right and feather on the back are about right as well. It is a wacky, old angle and I suspect the sunlight on the bird is making the eye appear weird.

Franken'robin maybe?

I am having trouble gauging the size of the bird. Robin sized or this sparrow size and the image makes it appear bigger. Thoughts?

Looks like a juvenile American robin and it is true that the angle and the light is messing with the eye.

Maybe this follow up image can help.

If I remember correctly, it was slightly larger than a Varied Thrush.

Yes, looks like a juvenile American robin from this angle.
