Russet-tailed Thrush?

Saw this one up at Lamington National Park? Is it a Russet-tailed Thrush? Thanks :)

Hi Akasha,

Definitely a Bassian. You can clearly see the anchor shapes on it's secondry wing converts.

Here is a link to Jenny Grogans' site. She has a excellent page on what to look for.

Thanks Paul, that website was very helpful and I see what you mean about the anchor shapes on the secondary wing coverts. Bassian it is.
