I was walking back from school today when i spotted a thrush species sitting in a tree. I got nearer and the bird didnt care, in the end it was 2ft above my head! Its overall appearence was a fieldfare but it had a broad white collor with a black outline, very dark grey on the top of its chest and white at the bottom. The head was the same as a normal fieldfares would be, but id say it had a thicker white eye stripe. Maybe someone could help me find out what 2 parents it had?
Hopefully someone else has seen a bird like this?

cheers andy

Sounds like some sort of escape to me. I'll have a think on this one.
