I think this might be a Mistle Thrush- But before I post it on the local Dodder site - I would like to be sure!

Mistle Thrush spots tend to go horizontal on the body keps from lower belly to UTC’s unlike Song Thrush, whose spots are always to the vertical throughout.

Cheers

The first things that usually stand out to me are the large size (largest thrush in Ireland) and grey tones of the feathers.

Song Thrush is slightly smaller or about the same size as a Blackbird and more brown/warm overall than Mistle Thrush.
