Help ID this wild bird?

My wife and I saw a bird in our backyard that we couldn't identify. It was about the same size and shape as a robin, but with a black beak, dark grey back, lighter grey breast, and a patch of black or dark brown on top of its head.

We live in northern Indiana. Anyone know what this bird is?

Thanks!

It sounds like a Gray Catbird. Did it look like this?

Hi there. This bird sounds like a Black Cap. They usually spend their winters in Asia or Africa, before leaving to spend the summer in the UK. I suppose it could be one en route!
was it a catbird?
