thrasher

Mockingbird's foraging cousin

A thrasher is a long-tailed North American songbird known for its vigorous foraging style, thrashing through leaf litter to find insects.

The brown thrasher is the most common species.

Separately, thrasher describes someone who thrashes—beats grain, moves violently, or in skateboarding and metal music subcultures, performs with aggressive intensity.
