The Thrush Nightingale, Luscinia luscinia is a migratory insectivorous species breeding in forest in Europe and Asia. It winters in Tropical Africa.

The Thrush Nightingale is similar in size to the European Robin. It is plain grey brown above and grey to white below. Its greyer tones, giving a cloudy appearance to the underside, and lack of the Nightingale's obvious red tail side patches are the clearest plumage differences from that species. Sexes are similar.
