hi, not the best shots... but only like the second time i've ever seen this kind of bird and the first time i've been close enough to get a shot. anyways, i need some ID help please. these were taken on Oahu.
i think it is a Shama Thrush : White-Rumped Shama

Yeh... not the best shots but I can just make out the similarities to other White-Rumped Shama images when I tap in birds name through google image search!

In fact these images look very similar to pics already hosted on t'internet. Well done!

Very nice photo of a White-rumped Shama. Common here, didn;t know you had them in Hawai. Are they introduced?
