Possible Kurrichane/Olive Thrush Hybrid. Has Kurrichane features except for eye surround (orbital ring is not orange) and the call is more like the Olive Thrush. |

Slightly immature bird possibly? There is also a fair amount of variability with thrushes with regard to some of the features, the amount of dark colour on the bill of an Olive being possibly the biggest variable. Interesting that the call is similar to an Olive. |
