Mystery Bird

Saw a bird today at the river side in Wolfscote Dale in Derbyshire. I cannot find it in my books.

A bit like a ring ouzel but quite a bit bigger, beak longer, quite long legs, the most striking feature was it's amazing white breast, squarish in shape. rest of bird was darkish brown speckled on the back (a bit pheasant like) but smaller speckles.

There were two of them preening themselves.

any ideas on what it might be please ?

thanks
