Title: Thrush?

Anybody knows this bird?

Sorry for very bad photos.

I thought could be eyebrowed thrush. Taken in woddland clearing, lamma island

Because I can see what it actually is, I can say that it was basically much too small for Eye-browed Thrush, or any Turdus thrush in fact. It was also actually mainly olive-green on the upperparts, which as the second picture shows, are lightly streaked. It's actually a pipit, so referring to any field guide featuring the species which commonly occur in HK, should allow you to identify it.

Good luck!

oops, I should have known that. This time I do my homework. This could be White's Thrush?   Another hurry shot same place as before.
