Finished editorial watercolour illustration, 9:16 vertical. One playful thrush stands in the lower-left portion of warm ivory paper, its enormous pear-shaped belly balanced on two thin, slightly splayed legs. Three-quarter body view; its tiny head turns back over one shoulder, short pointed beak raised. Violet back, one broad overlapping violet wing, warm yellow breast with five large dark teardrop spots, elongated narrow tail angled right. Keep the bird instantly legible at thumbnail size. Broad translucent watercolour washes, softly pooled pigment edges, and a few loose dark-violet marker contours give a simple hand-drawn collection look. One pale grounding wash beneath its feet; generous empty space above and to the right. No intricate feather detail, hatching, props or people. No text, logos or watermarks.
