First winter rather than juvenile, but yes, male Japanese Thrush, I think.
Lovely shot.

Japanese, but an adult female based on the extensive spotting on flanks and breast, no ghosting of male breast pattern, grey-brown rather than black/blackish upperparts. Also no retained juvenile tertials or greater coverts.
Nice photo.
