Mistles also tend to stand more 'upright' and generally be seen more out in the open, for example foraging on grass. An extension to that, is Songs tend to dive for cover when disturbed, whereas Mistles will fly higher.Hope that helps and keep at it. I used to struggle with the 2, but after a bit of practice, it becomes a lot easier.</blockquote>
