thrush , Poland, (1 Viewer)

[Michał Jaro]

I'm wondering about one thrush seen a few days ago (Poland, Podhale) - the distinct white eyebrow would indicate a Redwing, but the bird has quite large beak, and definitely not rusty/red on the side - but yellowish (visible in all shots). Can you say something with such poor photos?

Looks fine for redwing. The flank colour isn't always obvious - I think you just needed a better view.

No other thrush in Europe has such a distinctive supercilium- agree with redwing.

The birds colouration is completely wrong for a fieldfare.

Redwing for me by reason of super

Thank you all for your help !!, okay, I admit it , I thought there was a chance for Eyebrowed thrush. It appears in Europe and the first winter birds certainly have a distinct eyebrow. It's allowed to dream

Eyebrowed thrushes are not streaked- your bird shows quite significant streaking on the underside.

Thats not so obvious. When you enlarge the best quality photo - you can see the twigs, but the bird's flank seems to be without streaking. Yes, I know, the photo quality leaves much to be desired .....

Apologies but that’s not entirely true- in the other images you can actually see the streaking when the bird is in another position.

It may be so, it may also be small twigs, we will never know. Unfortunately, the dense forest and wetlands prevented me from following the bird.
But probability indicates redwing .

Thanks again !!

It's streaking.
