American Robin
(Turdus migratorius)
The European Robin (pictured below) is known simply as the Robin or Robin Redbreast in the British Isles. It is a small insectivorous passerine, specifically a Chat. It was once classified as a thrush, but is now said to be an Old World flycatcher.
The American Robin, pictured above, is a migratory thrush, named after the European Robin. Despite the similarity of some colour markings, the two species are not closely related as the European Robin which belongs to the Old World flycatcher family.
