saw this at KFBG. Thought it was some kind of Thrush since its behaviour on the ground looking for food is similar to thrushes.  Correct me if it is wrong.

A Rufous-tailed Robin.

It is not easy to distinguish a fujian niltava and a rufous-tailed robin.  The one I attached has a clear whitish crescent across the neck, which is one of the characters of a fujian niltava.  Maybe the one I have has olive-brown crescent-shaped scales on the breast.  I think that would be a good find for me.  I will change the name of the title then.
Thanks Matthew.

Shall someone help me to move this to Thrushes category?  Thanks very much.
