This eyebrow looks like it extends back to the nape, and the throat looks unstriped so is this a Louisiana waterthrush? I'm hoping it is ><

Some sort of insect larva?
Found underneath the bark of a section of cut South Florida Slash Pine... I'm not sure why the tree was cut down (there are only four or five others at this park). I decided I might as well take advantage and see what lives under the bark but some of these organisms may have just made the tree their home after it was cut down (new guinea flatworm, rolly pollies, brahminy blind snake for example). I'm sure many, like the termites and barklice, naturally use the tree as a home.

csurpDescription
This appeared to be a free ranging bird given its location. It kept wandering off and coming back to this location as if it was staking out a territory.
