Two thrushes (I think) near Seoul. I would guess gray-headed and dusky but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

Thanks,

The second one is indeed Dusky. The first one is Naumann's Thrush, which used to be considered a red-flushed ssp of Dusky, but has now been separated as a a species (although it might in fact be a hybrid Naumann's x Dusky).

I can't find 'Grey-headed' in my books. Did you mean Grey-backed?

Great.

Slightly off topic, but you can edit your location in your profile if you have now moved to Korea; or alternatively edit your flag if you are now in HK. But the current combination looks a little odd. I think most people put the flag of their main location, rather than the flag of their nationality. A few people have two or three locations, in which case they seem to put either the flag of their nationality (assuming it's one of their locations and their home base) or of the location where they spend most time, or about where they post the most. I'm not Japanese, for example, but it's where I've lived most of my life, and my main birding area.
