Dear Etta,

I think it is a Pale Thrush (Male)/ 白腹東鳥(公 )  . By the 2 white spots on the tail-end , the grey color on the sides of 2 wings and seems the neck is in grey with white spot under the bill. (But in the photo shown the very small part of chest is too white ????)

Am I right ?

Good birding in 2003
