Sorry Geoff, I don't have any photo of this bird.

This bird was seen at 1600 on brown walk. It showed up very well and gave us a very clear view for more than 30 seconds.
This is a light brown to buffy rock thrush with scaly pattern on its body. It has obvious white throat with no eyebrow and buff crescent on its neck.

Thanks.
I will send you a message about filling out a Unusual Record Form.
