Wonderful photos!

Congratulations to the finder and thanks for sharing the pix and the site location so that others can also enjoy this wonderful bird.

Cheers

Sadly, the extensive damage to the coverts (on both sides) and extensive wear to the tail with many feather regowing are strongly suggestive that this is an ex-cage bird. No turdus in HK should be in moult at this time.

Cthomas's reminded me of a chestnut-capped thrush I took last year in Sir Edward Yolde Aviary. The plumage was not only beautiful but also lustrous. Singing was her favourite pastime. She sang the whole time I saw her.
