Question: What species of bird is this?
Posted by mitchkim on Jan 25, 2016, in category What?
It's gold with polka dots and is roughly the size of a grown woman's hand. If the picture doesn't show go on www.instagram.com/michellemkim1 for a bether look. These birds are all around my house but I don't know what to call them :)

Please check this out, you can see it from different angles so it might help to identify it: http://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/song-thrush

Could also be a juvenile female blackbird, but I guess that you can determine it as you see it
