Saw this thrush briefly in Shek Kong today.

Not sure of the id, but this bird seemed smaller than grey-backed thrush and much more cautious than the other grey-backed seen today.

I think the grey back, orange underparts and streaked breast really only fit Grey-backed Thrush - 1st-winter male.

thanks David,

I was in a bit of doubt on the very clear lines formed on the throat and by the smaller size, but immature male would explain it all.
