Sorry for poor quality photos. :wink:

first and the third photo looks like a Japenese Thrush to me, a Juv. perhaps??and the second one looks like a Pale Thrush to me. :)

Agree with Falcon.
The first one oculd be a immature male Japanese Thrush while the 3rd is a female I think. The second one is a pale thrush.
Christina, you can notify the black dots of Japanese thrush spread through the belly while a grey backed thrush won't reach that low at belly.

This is a Grey-backed Thrush.

Another female or subadult male Japanese thrush on Lamma today (2005-12-26). Not only are the spots way down the underside, but there is also quite an extensive solid dark patch on the lower flanks too.
