Rufous-tailed Robin (changed from Fujian Niltava)

Rufous-tailed Robin (changed from Fujian Niltava)

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.

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.
