Wouldn't that have a prominent white supercilium?

Quite variable I think, that alone doesn't mean this isn't one.

A few here with very little 'super'.....

Many thanks. The bird in question seemed a bit larger and stouter than a rubythroat, a species with which I am familiar though the submoustachial markings had me thinking. I tend towards Pale Thrush - once more thanks.
