Robin
Robins are members of the thrush family. You can see thrush-like spots on young robins, their shapes are similar to thrush's. Robins have a way of holding their head high that is distinctive; they may be trying to hear worms this way. Our robins have been around for at least two weeks, which makes their spring return quite early this year.
This is a small painting, mostly pigment and glue-water, charcoal, and graphite. Last year's returned robin, quite similar in pose, is posted on the 31st of March, two weeks later!
