What bird?

I snapped a pic of this bird a month ago. Place: Albury Southern NSW. What kind of bird is this? Thanks.

A Grey Shrike-thrush, Rob. Probably male (browner on mantle).

Thanks Owl. He didn't hang around for another picture. Very jumpy. I've only seed them a couple of times in this area. Hopefully a better opportunity comes up for a cleaner image.

Their voice is very recognisable, I recommend finding a sound recording to listen to. It varies quite a bit but it's very lovely.

I have a couple of birds with recordings on my phone but it's only a limited number.  Field guide is the name of the app. I will take your advice and have a look online.
