First photo allows amazing wing detail to be noted. You can see the short first primary falls short of the primary coverts - it is longer than the primary coverts in Common Nightingale. Emargination (the curve in the feather towards the wing tip) only on p3 is a classic Thrush feature too.

Thanks for posting!
