Snapped this today - sorry about the quality. It resembles a thrush but the orange beak throws me. Please help.

It's a female Blackbird.

Thanks Phil - female blackbird did cross my mind but the depth of colour of the beak was something I hadn't noticed in a female blackbird before.

They do seem pretty variable. I think this one has some staining on the bill caused by "rootling" around in the wet soil for earthworms. Handsome bird though!

That's not a Derry, I'm a Derry, it's a female blackbird.

Such variable colours, with female Blackbirds.
