Hi Hendrix  
 
This is a male  the chestnut-bellied race (scientific name philippensis) of Blue Rock Thrush.  
 
You can tell because the colour of the upperparts is more or less the same all over.
 
If it was Chestnut-bellied it would have a darker face and a deep blue cap.
 
One more point - even though it is called a rock thrush Chestnut-bellied Rock Thrush loves to sit on top of tall trees near slopes. Kadoorie farm has had one for several of the last few winters - I have also seen them doing this "high perching" in Wolong in China
 
Cheers  
Mike
