The brown-headed cowbird (Molothrus ater) is a small cowbird in the icterid family, Icteridae. It is distinguished from other icterids by its finch-like head and beak and its smaller size.

The common blackbird in Europe isn't at all related to American blackbirds, which are icterids.
But the European blackbird IS related to the American robin! They're both the same genus of thrushes. (5/6)
