Dusky Thrush
This may sound stupid but i think i may have seen a dusky thrush in with my local redwings.
It had a very obivous supercillium and submoustcial stripe was black surronded by white it had no rusty red underneath its wing and was neatly spooted on body it was also slightly bigger than a redwing. I cant stop shaking and think i am going to be sick!!  The other worring thing was that i had a flock of redwings in the garden just last week. |

Calm down Tim - you are obviously very excited. Take a breath... and... relax. Ahhh, better? Now, what did you see?

I had the good fortune to find a rare thrush and had very little time to id it. I hadn't a clue what it was and neither did the birder I was with. The advice to relax is good but write down everything you can recall about the bird as soon as you can, you may never see it again. David

Good luck, but I fear I'm not convinced - pics of them don't exactly show them to be neatly spotted (or even spooted!
 , more of a thick mess of a band of dense spots on the upper breast, then a bit of a gap, then some neater square-checking on the flanks

Don't be such a spoilsport, Peter! If it's not a Dusky it could still be a Black-throated Thrush!
