Mistle thrushes are greyER than song thrushes, but I'd still call the dominant colour of a mistle thrush "brown" - just a "colder", more greyish brown.
This one looks unusually "warm"/reddish brown even for a song thrush IMO, but that could be down to the colour balance of the photograph being off.
(It is a Song Thrush on (more compact) structure and face pattern as well as overall colour, but these two species can be genuinely hard to tell apart in, especially single, photographs. Easier in the field usually, once you have a handle on their "jizz" and behaviour!)
