Never seen this before in my patch.
About the size of a Common Myna. The charcoal grey colour is very new to me.

It could be Blue-Rock Thrush.

Yes, my initial reaction as well. A male perhaps?
The grey colour is an artifact then of my camera? with naked eyes it appeared grey to me as well.

Why not a female Indian Robin?

Its a good suggestion as well. Could explain the bits of brownish colour all over the head and chest. But the vent doesnt appear chestnut at all and the beak seems too straight and blunt for an IR?

I think it's a young male, Blue Rock Thrush with a bit of retained, brown, immature feathering now I've seen the book.
