The harsh light / contrast makes it difficult to see the plumage clearly [particularly the underbody of the upper bird]. Bunging the picture into Photoshop and playing with the brightness/contrast didn't help much.

Factors that are clear, are that the upper bird has white lores, a dark eye and wing tips that are somewhat shorter than the tail. In the case of the lower bird, it is clear that it generally has a pale underbody.

These factors, together with the general shape of the birds and their bills, their dark bills and legs, and the "two pack" wing pattern of the upper bird would appear to be consistent with a diagnosis of Grey Shrike-Thrush.

Regards, Laurie.
