Agree with Falcon.
The first one oculd be a immature male Japanese Thrush while the 3rd is a female I think. The second one is a pale thrush.
Christina, you can notify the black dots of Japanese thrush spread through the belly while a grey backed thrush won't reach that low at belly.

This is a Grey-backed Thrush.

Thank you Falcon and Tony. I also got pics of Grey-backed Thrush at the Christmas time!

Another female or subadult male Japanese thrush on Lamma today (2005-12-26).  Not only are the spots way down the underside, but there is also quite an extensive solid dark  patch on the lower flanks too.

I think I met up with the same bird again!
