G'day Keith & Lindsay, .... & all...
Very nice images Keith & Lindsay of this juvenile thrush. Isn't it amazing how
big these bills get on our cuneata Bassian up here, even in such a young bird
!! Great to see such fantastic images.
For me, you would expect a very much slighter bill on a Russet-tailed Thrush.
Also the remiges are too brown, & the rump too dull & too heavily barred for a
Russet-tailed, even a juvenile bird. The bill is what really stands out to me
on this bird - you'd never one so big on a Russet of any age !!
Good stuff...
Cheers
