This looks to me like a female/immature White-tailed Robin - congratulations!

White-tailed Robin is one of the species which has generally been considered an escape, but a female bird in December just after a cold front must have as good a chance of any of being accepted as a wild bird.

I had a look at a few pix of female White-tailed on Google Images - I was surprised at the variability of the amount of white visible in the tail.

Female Blue-fronted Robins seem to be less contrasting between back and tail - and it is an extremely rare bird everywhere in its range
