Nightingale, any of several small Old World thrushes, belonging to the family Turdidae (order Passeriformes), renowned for their song. The name refers in particular to the Euraisain Nightingale(Erithacus, or Luscinia, megarhynchos), a brown bird, 16 centimetres (61/2 inches) long, with a rufous tail. Its strong and varied song, in which crescendo effects are prominent, is uttered by day or night from perches in shrubbery.
