Song Thrush or Immature Blackbird?

["Peter Shute" <>]

I saw a Bassian Thrush on a BOCA outing in the Botanic Gardens a couple
of weeks ago.  So they are around, and if it looked like a Bassian then
it could be a Bassian, although I have no idea how common they are
outside the gardens.  Not very common in them, much less common outside
them, I would guess.
