Song Thrush or Blackbird youngster? (1 Viewer)

[Scozmos]

Hi all, I'm having a real good clear out of my garden bird photos and I came across this one taken in January this year, the head colouring and the time of year have thrown me a bit, I've saved it as Blackbird youngster? Seems early in the year for that?
Many thanks in advance

Yes, I’ll go along with that.👍

Thanks @KenM

Not quite the same posture Scozmos, but much cleaner and contrasty than Blackbird.👍

Female blackbird. Presumably 1st-winter.

Can't pretend to look that closely at Blackbirds very often, but I'd tend to call that a female Blackbird, somewhat more adult than juvenile (as suggested above). A first-winter male would still be black by January.

Lovely shot, btw.
