Wikipedia
Thrush nightingale
The thrush nightingale (Luscinia luscinia), also known as the sprosser, is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, Muscicapidae. It, and similar small European species, are often called chats. It is a migratory insectivorous species breeding in forests in Europe and the Palearctic and overwintering in Africa. The distribution is more northerly than the very closely related common nightingale, Luscinia megarhynchos, which it closely resembles in appearance. It nests near the ground in dense undergrowth. The thrush nightingale is similar in size to the European robin. It is plain greyish-brown above and white and greyish-brown below. Its greyer tones, giving a cloudy appearance to the underside, and lack of the common nightingale's obvious rufous tail side patches are the clearest plumage differences from that species. Sexes are similar. It has a similar but more powerful song than that of the nightingale.

thrush nightingale
The thrush nightingale, also known as the sprosser, is a small migratory songbird in the thrush family. It is scientifically named "Luscinia luscinia." It breeds in moist coniferous forests with dense undergrowth across northern Europe and Asia, wintering in Sub-Saharan Africa. This bird is less showy in its habitat preference than the common nightingale and nests closer to the ground. The thrush nightingale's song is louder and more varied than that of the nightingale and its call is a distinctive "dwip." These birds primarily eat insects and some berries and fruits during migration.
