Although it has a rufous look, I think that is a lighting effect. The head pattern and rounded spots say Mistle to me.

+1 for Mistle Thrush. Rounded spots and greyish head are good support. Also comparatively larger than Song Thrush

Hi Kevin

Definitely a Mistle Thrush. I've lightened up your original photo so you can see more detail, as Samuel says spotted breast and greyish head indicate MT. I've also attached a Song Thrush photo for comparison.
