European Robin

European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)

Genus Erithacus a group of thrush-like true flycatchers and in addition to the robin, includes species such as the nightingale and the Old World chats. The European robin of the UK is considered a subspecies, Erithacus rubecula melophilus, differing slightly in colour from the rest of the population throughout mainland Europe (Erithacus rubecula rubecula). Some consider the European Robin to be an Old World flycatcher (Muscicapidae) and not the thrush family (Turdidae)- Wikipedia.
