brown thrasher
Feeds in leaf litter by using bill to sweep litter and soil away
main diet: insects (beetles mainly)

This one is right.
I think the curve-billed thrasher has a darker, almost all brown chest?

and i think it also has (well ok this is stupid cuz its all in the name...) a longer bill with a bigger curve. and i would say brown has more markings as well as white showing on its wings/feathers... but part of that just depends on the bird and your picture...

Really hard to tell with the lighting and angle, but the general shape makes me think that's a chimney swift?

The ID is pretty easy.
What normal avian feature does this bird lack?

[amerikestrel]

Turkey Vulture; it lacks a syrinx.

[austinfhs]

Yup, that was fast!
