Turdus viscivorus
The Mistle Thrush is the largest thrush native to Europe, being distinctly larger than the similar Song Thrush and larger even than the Common Blackbird. The species measures 25 to 30 cm in length with a wingspan of 42 to 50 cm. Body mass can vary from 93 to 167 g, with an average of around 115 g. The sexes are similar, with plain greyish brown backs and neatly round-spotted underparts. The breast has much less buff than the Song Thrush.
