Hey! Someone, honk the horn to get that thing to pick up its head!

Does that refrain bear any resemblance to something you’ve said or, at least, thought when encountering a bird being all sleepy, thus exacerbating an already tricky ID?

Go ahead. Honk the horn, although I doubt it would do you any good here.

This month’s quiz bird is a brown bird with streaks, like so many other streaky brown birds. However, importantly, it has interesting legs; interesting, ID-helpful legs. No, not ID-definitive legs, but not too far from that.

I will provide one further hint: The photo was taken in the Lower 48 US states and is of a species indigenous to where the photo was taken.
