Default What bird is this?

Hi guy's,

This is a toss up between a Redwing or Fieldfare, I think it's the later, but could someone please put me out of my misery.

Thanks

Smile Redwing and Fieldfares

Kent is teaming with Fieldfare and Redwings at the moment.

They are tucking into the discarded fruit in the orchards.

Got to be a Fieldfare for me. I actually saw a couple at Marton Mere yesterday, feeding on the apples near the the feeding station.
