Turdus ID - Rome, Italy (1 Viewer)

[jocateme]

Hello all,

This bird was photographed in Rome, Italy, in October/15. My best guess is juvenile blackbird, but as I don't have much knowledge on Palearctic birds, I'd appreciate if someone could confirm it is not some other thrush.

Hi Jocatem,

To my eye it resembles an adult female Blackbird..although it might be a sub-adult? Wiser contributors are sure to follow.

Cheers

It's settled, then: female blackbird. Thank you both, Ken and Andy!
