The redwing (''Turdus iliacus'') is a bird in the thrush family, Turdidae, native to Europe and Asia, slightly smaller than the related song thrush. ==Taxonomy and systematics== This species was first described by Linnaeus in his ''Systema naturae'' in 1758 under its current scientific name.〔 〕 The English name derives from the bird's red underwing. It is not closely related to the red-winged blackbird, a North American species sometimes nicknamed "redwing", which is an icterid, not a thrush. The binomial name derives from the Latin words ''turdus'', "thrush", and ''ile'' "flank". The redwing has two subspecies:〔〔〔 *''T. i. iliacus'', the nominate subspecies described by Linnaeus, which breeds in mainland Eurasia. *''T. i. coburni'' described by Richard Bowdler Sharpe in 1901, which breeds in Iceland and the Faroe Islands and winters from western Scotland and Ireland south to northern Spain. It is darker overall, and marginally larger than the nominate form. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Redwing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
