What state are you in? Looks like a Swainson's to me. Overall tone and lack of contrast between tail and body rules out Hermit and possibly Bicknell's (range will solve the Bicknell's possibility easily though). Complete and defined eye ring knocks out Veery and Gray Cheeked. Mixed blend of spotting on breast and dull olive color also takes care of Wood Thrush. I think you're right, probably a Swainson's unless there are clues you saw that aren't shown on this clip.
Thanks for your help! Very much appreciated. I am in Northeastern Minnesota. I didnt really see any other clues that were not shown in the clip. I think I will go with Swainson's too for now. Thanks again!
