random bird ID, Leicester, UK (1 Viewer)

This is a complete long shot that someone may be able to suggest what bird the attached pictures are of. They were taken by my mum through her bedroom window with a mobile phone camera so the quality is not great. She is very curious as to what the bird could have been.

The description I have been given of this bird is that it was larger than a feral pigeon and most definitely not a pigeon!. It had two black spots on the side of its face and a black fairly chunky bill on it. When it flew off it had a fairly wide wingspan and the wings were not dark in colour.

My suggestion of a black headed gull was met with a clear no with her saying it had a black chunkier bill on it and not an orange one.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks

I dare say you won't get a positive identity, but something is telling me Jackdaw on the second image, of course with a form of leucism but I have nothing other than my gut telling me that

Collared Dove?

It definitely wasn't a collar dove. My mum is very familiar with them as there are a pair which nest nearby.

The chimney and tiles look pretty true-colour wise imo so assume the photo is pretty much an accurate image ... some escapee I'd imagine as opposed to an odd UK species, but what ...

Leucistic corvid (Carrion Crow or Jackdaw most likely) would be my guess... but if these are the only photos I don't think it can be definitely identified.
