Vietnam - Last Part - 2 more birds and a mysterious bathing dude (1 Viewer)

[Fwin71]

Bird 7: Pic 1 and 2: We had several White's thrush in Cuc Phuong but in Bach Ma (central highlands) we had this thrush, which for us looked more like a scaly thrush (Zoothera dauma)...

Bird 8: Pic 3. We thought on the field that this was a paddyfield pipit but after a closer look at the pics we think it could be a Richard's pipit because of the long beak, the pattern on median coverts, and posture. This one was seen around Dalat cultivated field.

Bird 9: Pic 4. We cannot tell too much about this one? its too dark, too blurred, but it could be an interesting one. We saw it in Cuc Phuong, northern Vietnam... It could be a female white-throated rock-thrush...

That's all, thanks again for the help!!

The Thrush does look a bit like Scaly, with those yellow wingbars, dark centres to the greater coverts and prominent black mark behind the eye, but I don't have first-hand experience of either species, so I'm probably not the right person to comment.

Re the Pipit, again I'm not sure but I can't see anything to suggest it isn't Paddyfield. Lores are not clear, underparts are warmly coloured and the tail is quite short.

I can't see much on the last bird. The bill looks pretty large - could it be Dark-sided Thrush or something similar?

How about Brown Shrike for the last one?
