Leg colour query?

[WestLothian]

Do the dark legs make this a Juvenile Male Blackird?

thought both sexes legs were the same colour. legs are in the shade though.

If beak was going orange + colour not from fruit eating then yes it's a juvenile male.

Both male and female blackbirds have the same leg colouring, obviously males have a yellow beak and females browner with a streaked chest. Looking at this photo I would say this is a juvenile female.
