As we have learned

Strong Field Ligand -

These are the ligands which pair the electron in inner d-orbital and makes required d-orbitals empty/available. 

- wherein

For example: CO, CN etc

 

 In  Fe (CO)_5 , Fe -C  bond posses both \sigma \: \: \: and \: \: \: \pi  characters as CO is a strong field ligand it has tendency of  \pi  back bonding , which gives the bond Fe - C both  \sigma \: \: \: and \: \: \: \pi  characters
