I went to work this morning and found this poor thing deadAs I've never seen a bird like it before, does someone here know what kind of bird it is? I did a very rough search and it looks a bit like a thrasher or a thrush, but I really don't know birds. It's about the size of a robin and was found in Vancouver, B.C.

?Yellow flicker?
I can't tell if you have enough of the tell tale markers.
Obviously, you can't go by behavior...hopping in the grass not climbing a tree.

yeah, I won't be able to tell you behaviour or song or anything like that. As I've mentioned, I've never seen one like it before.

I think it's a rail- a type of marsh bird. I'll double check the id and post again. Cool.... they are very secretive.

Yes, immature Sora Rail. These are very secretive marsh birds - notice the lobed feet for walking around where it's wet and muddy.

What a shame.
Is your ride near a marsh?
