Field marks included in written report, including distinctive call, are sufficient to confirm the identification of Curve-billed Thrasher.

The detailed description offered here points us toward an immature CBTH and adequately competes the candidate against the very similar Bendire's Thrasher. Most convincing of all was a description of the bird's "whit-wheet" call, which is diagnostic for CBTH.

Though this bird breeds far to the south, there are records from Montana (I believe) and other mid-west states. Harry seems to describe this bird accurately and eliminates other species. It would have been nice to see the sketches.
