The other two are Curve-billed but this one bill don't look like their.

That's actually a Clay-colored Robin, not a thrasher. Congratulations!

The NEW common name for this bird is CLAY-COLORED THRUSH, I believe.

Looking in my bird books!

They call it a Clay-colored Thrush, one book says the old name is "Clay-colored Robin.

And the Clay-colored Thrush is picture with a droop wing.

Thanks again

DOH! And that "new" common name isn't even really new. I think the change was around 7-8 years ago.
