Hi all! Just wondering if anyone could help me positively identify this bird I saw today. Sorry about the picture quality, the sun was not cooperating and the bird only landed there for a few seconds before flying off.

Is it a Song Thrush or a Mistle Thrush?

Hi This is a Mistle Thrush.

There are a few tell tale id features however the easiest one is the breast markings are "arrow like" on a Song Thrush. If you google song thrush you will see what I mean.

Ohh! I absolutely see what you mean with the arrows on the Song Thrush, I had not noticed that difference. Thanks so much for your help! :)
