Sorry for poor photo.
This Laughingthrush was found inside a flock of "normal" Black-throated Laughingthrush.
I have nice view of it at first, it has absolutely no "white ear" which should be very conspicous; seems it was also calling in a different tone. I wonder would it be a juvenile(although i don't think it was) or a different subspecies (seems it looks like the monachus subspecies.)
