Should I get excited?

You decide...

This thrush turned up in my yard this morning and is not quite what I expect to see in a "normal" American Robin. It has a fairly bright supercilium.

If we compare this to a typically marked robin...

We can clearly see that this is not your average robin

So, could this be a rare Siberian Eyebrowed Thrush? or is it a strongly marked American Robin?
