a Nightingale

I agree, question is if Common or Thrush. Difficult without seeing more of the back. I'd lean towards Trush Nightingale because of the very slightly darker breast and the seemingly rather dark red-brown colour of the tail. More pics?
 
Common Nightingale for me. From my experience some of the Eastern birds show greyish breast while Thrush shows mottling on the breast
 
I switch sides to Common Nightingale. Red of tail and wings too light. Moreover, after checken a few photos from autumn Luscinia's it seems that the eye-ring in Common Nightingale is more prominent. As in OP bird.
