Varied Thrush, one of my favorite birds, I find woodland hues have a elegant subtlety more handsome than the gaudy displays of peacocks and parrots. Cedar Waxwings and Northern Flickers are other excellent examples.

Funny, I always hear about the big gluttonous flocks but around here they are fairly uncommon and I've never seen more than 1/2 dozen at a time.
Never seen one of these, impressive feathers . . .

Pretty sure they are only western North American, uncommon to see even here because they like higher altitudes and deep forests and only come to human areas in bad weather
Lovely! I agree that many of the more subtly-colored birds have their own kind of beauty. For us easterners, I'd add wood thrushes to those that you list.
