I took the pictures below while taking a walk this afternoon.
I didn't know the bird's name and wondered what it is called, so I uploaded three pictures on some SNS (Social Networking Services), and asked for its name.
I was very glad when four netizens immediately gave me their answers.
Three people wrote on their replies that the bird is called Blue Rock Thrush or Isohiyodori.
The male birds have blue shade on their bodies while the females do not have.
One of them seemed to be an expert of birdwatching, and he asked me for more pictures so I uploaded similar pictures here to answer his request. I know that I am not good at taking pictures, it might get boring to someone. He was kind enough to show his interest for the inconspicuous bird.
I proceeded to show him more pictures on the blog. He could tell that the female bird is young from the feather white spots.
No. 1 At first, I found the bird on the tree to be relaxing.
No. 2 Then, her tail was moved upward.
No. 3 She noticed me afterwards.

I was glad to have someone teaches me the bird.
