Neither Blackbird, which has larger, sturdier, dark legs, nor Dartford Warbler
which has shorter toes and tarsus of a darker more reddish brown colour.Thrush family definitely, because of long tarsus, maybe a Robin?

Legs a bit too pale yellowish/pinkish for Robin? Song Thrush, perhaps?

This isn't a Blackbird or Song Thrush, unless Peregrines have grown to the size of eagles... I was wondering about Pipit sp but not sure! Can't think of much that's small, dark and long-legged, and I'm quite surprised at a Peregrine taking something that small really...
Agreed, to me the legs look too dainty for Blackbird or Song Thrush. Something pipit-ish was my thoughts too.
