Identification please?

This bird came on my garden in the middle of all the starlings, collared doves and sparrows.  I think it is either a juvenile field fare or a song thrush?  Could someone help please?  The picture quality isn't great.  It was quite big, similar in size to the collared doves on the garden at the same time.  

Thanks!

    Hi-

     

    this bird shows MT proportions;

    note the small head and long tail- the latter unaffected by plumage fluffing.

     The tail appears to show pale on the outer tail feathers

    There is a distinct smudge on the side of the breast

    The legs look ochre in colour

    The eye appears to be in a pale face with a dark comma mark on the rear ear coverts

    :)
