Sparrows (Passeridae family) are much smaller though. They weigh from 24 to 40 grams, whilst a Fieldfare is more than double the size, and usually weighs around 110 grams.

While sparrows and fieldfares are both Passerines, as they both belong to the order Passeriformes, the Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) is of the thrush family Turdidae, and Sparrows are the family Passeridae.
