Look at that bird! It has patches of reddish-orange and a gray back, too. It must be an American robin — or, wait, is it? Robins are a classic sign of spring, but not all birds with patches of white, gray and red are robins. Here are seven birds that look like robins, commonly confused for the blue egg-laying backyard favorites.

长得像知更鸟的鸟儿

看看那只鸟！它身上有红橙色的斑块，背部也是灰色的。它肯定是美洲知更鸟——或者，等等，真的是美洲知更鸟吗？知更鸟是春天的经典标志，但并非所有身上有白色、灰色和红色斑块的鸟都是知更鸟。这里有七种长得像知更鸟的鸟儿，它们常常被误认为是后院里产卵的蓝色知更鸟。

Robins are part of the same family as the varied thrush, so it’s easy to see why someone would get them confused. And at first, they have similar coloring, sporting reddish breasts and gray backs. Complicating things further, they’ve been known to forage in flocks of robins. Their behaviors, however, are different. The thrush tends to spend its time in treetops, while robins are more comfortable in the open. In addition, the thrush’s coloring has more of an orange tint, and the black eye bar is a giveaway.

杂色画眉

知更鸟和杂色画眉同属一科，所以很容易让人混淆。乍一看，它们的颜色很相似，胸部略带红色，背部则呈灰色。更复杂的是，它们以成群觅食而闻名。然而，它们的行为却截然不同。杂色画眉喜欢栖息在树梢上，而知更鸟则更喜欢在户外活动。此外，杂色画眉的颜色更偏橙色，黑色的眼纹更是暴露了它们的习性。

The male orchard oriole is a striking sight to see in early summer. But with his red breast and dark-colored head, he’s definitely one of the birds that look like robins. As the smallest of the oriole species, there’s a slight size difference between an orchard oriole and the American robin, and the beak colors differ, too. One way to tell for sure is the location where the bird feeds — if it’s visiting a fruit feeder or nectar feeder, it’s almost certainly an oriole.

果园金莺

 初夏时节，雄性果园金莺格外引人注目。它有着红色的胸脯和深色的头部，绝对是长得像知更鸟的鸟类之一。作为金莺类中体型最小的物种，果园金莺和美洲知更鸟的体型略有不同，喙的颜色也有所不同。辨别金莺的一个方法是观察它觅食的地点——如果它正在采食水果或花蜜，那么它几乎肯定是金莺。 想看到更多知更鸟吗？以下是如何吸引知更鸟来到你家院子的方法。

Both the spotted and eastern towhee are birds that look like robins, with some key differences. If you’re able to get a good look at the bird’s eyes, check whether they’re red. Red eyes are a distinctive feature of towhees that robins don’t have. If not, check for the birds’ white breast and dark-colored upperparts.

Here’s the difference between American and European robins.

斑点鸫（和东部鸫）

 斑点鸫和东部鸫外形类似知更鸟，但有一些关键区别。如果您能仔细观察它们的眼睛，请检查它们是否是红色的。红眼睛是鸫的显著特征，而知更鸟则没有。如果不是，请检查它们白色的胸部和深色的上体。

以下是美洲知更鸟和欧洲知更鸟的区别。

Telling a black-headed grosbeak from a robin can be a tricky feat. Right down to the overall tune of their songs, they have much in common. If you’re in the Eastern or Midwestern U.S., chances are good you’ve seen a robin — black-headed grosbeaks live mostly in the West. If you’re in the West, look for the reddish band around the neck, the white spots on the wings and the overall black upperparts to distinguish the grosbeaks from robins. The shape and color of the beak is a good indicator, too.

Do robins migrate and fly south in winter?

黑头蜡嘴雀 

区分黑头蜡嘴雀和知更鸟并非易事。它们甚至连鸣叫的曲调都有很多共同之处。如果您在美国东部或中西部，很有可能见过知更鸟——黑头蜡嘴雀主要生活在西部。如果您在西部，可以通过观察颈部周围的红色条纹、翅膀上的白色斑点以及整体黑色的上体来区分蜡嘴雀和知更鸟。喙的形状和颜色也是一个很好的指示。

知更鸟在冬季会迁徙并飞往南方吗？

The American robin is in the thrush family, a group of birds known for their musical songs. The hermit thrush lacks the robin’s reddish coloring but the face, eye ring and beak look similar. The spots on its breast might make you think you’re seeing a juvenile robin. Learn how to identify a wood thrush.

隐士画眉

 美洲知更鸟属于画眉科，该科鸟类以其优美的鸣叫而闻名。隐士画眉没有知更鸟的红色，但面部、眼圈和喙部与知更鸟相似。它胸部的斑点可能会让你误以为是一只幼年知更鸟。学习如何识别美洲林鸫。

The confusion here probably has its roots in the bird’s name. Because this cute little nuthatch has a red breast, it looks a bit like an American robin. But the similarities don’t stop there — it has gray upperparts as well. However, there are plenty of ways to tell them apart. Red breasted nuthatches are commonly seen hopping up and down tree trunks; you won’t, say, see them searching for a worm in your lawn. In addition, nuthatches are smaller than robins.

红胸山雀

这种混淆可能源于它的名字。由于这种可爱的小山雀胸部呈红色，所以看起来有点像美国知更鸟。但相似之处远不止于此——它们的上体也是灰色的。不过，有很多方法可以区分它们。红胸山雀通常出现在树干上跳来跳去；你不会看到它们在你家草坪上找虫子。此外，山雀的体型也比知更鸟小。

Yet another dark-headed, reddish-feathered bird… what’s a birder to do? One way to tell a male American redstart from a robin is to keep an eye out for the redstart’s distinctive behavior: fanning out its tail. As a warbler, the redstart is smaller than a robin. And its plumage has notable differences, too — including its white breast and reddish-orange streaks on the sides.

美洲红尾鸲

又是一种头黑、羽毛红的鸟类……观鸟者该怎么办呢？区分雄性美洲红尾鸲和知更鸟的一个方法是留意它们独特的行为：展开尾巴。作为一种鸣禽，美洲红尾鸲体型比知更鸟小。它们的羽毛也有显著的差异——包括白色的胸部和身体两侧的红橙色条纹。
