Or Yellow-Shafted Flicker, I believe, would be the most accurate name. In the woodpecker family, but doesn't have the more distinctive black/white coloration.

Eastern Towhee, Maybe?

This is not a very good photo, but you can see that the Towhee looks a bit similar in shape and size to the Robin, but has a white breast with red sides and a black back.

I've seen these guys in the blackberry briars at the farm, which has made getting a photo pretty tricky.

American Redstart

Maybe. I am not at all sure of this one, as it is a new identify for me. I was suspecting some sort of Oriole, as I've seen Baltimore Orioles in these Indiana woods. But it does not appear to be any type of Oriole, so far as I can tell and the Redstart seems to match.

I spotted this one in September and there were several of these flying around with what looked like some finches.
