A Song Thrush?

This young bird was perched on the powerlines by my house in Wilston, Brisbane, last Saturday. I had never seen one like this before, but my research makes me believe this is a thrush and possibly a Song Thrush. Could any one comment?

In Australia Song Thrushes are only found in Melbourne, where they appear to be slowly dying out.

Thank you everyone. So a Juv Figbird it is! I had not seen one like this in our area before.
