A regional English dialect variant of 'fieldfare' (Turdus pilaris), a large migratory thrush that arrives in Britain in autumn flocks from Scandinavia. The 'felty-' element may derive from Old English 'fealu' (fallow, pale) or simply reflect local sound-change; fieldfares are prized by birdwatchers for their bold grey-and-chestnut plumage.
