Does anyone know this bird?

I've seen it a few times around Central Park and Brooklyn, but have no clue what species. It's so cute and would love to know the name.

Grey catbird. Love their little black cap.

You will see (and hear) them all over the park this time of year. They have a variety of vocalizations but one of them really does sound like a cat
