Bird ID/Confirmation

I'm guessing female blackbird, but other photos I've looked at show a yellow bill. A juvenile female blackbird perhaps?



Thanks in advance

looks like a particularly speckle-breasted female blackbird to me

Looks like a Blackbird to me too

I'd say Blackbird as well, and I think that only males get the yellow bill, and only when they are fully mature, which is when they are a year old.

I thought female blackbird too.

It is definately a blackbird that's for sure and only as previously said do male birds have yellow beaks.

The female is not black either.She is brown with a speckled chest and dark beak.

We had 3 female blackbirds in our garden this morning and one of them looked exactly the same as your speckled one, i was also wondering what it was at first, it seems from the replies its a female blackbird.

Female Blackbird only the males get the yellow bill and ring around the eye also the juvenile males look like the female as well untill they get their adult plummage,but definately a female Blackbird

Yes, it's a perfectly normal looking female Blackbird. Much too earlier for a juvenile.

Some females can develop yellow bills in old age btw!
