It's been a long time since i took any interest in birds (since i was about 10 in fact) but if my memory is correct,the Female Blackbird is in fact brown in colour, so you've I.D'd "him" correctly...even though he is a she :lol:

I now wait to be told i'm totally wrong by someone much cleverer than i am :lol:

Nice shot, I'm not so sure on the ID though. The bill and general look of the bird reminds me of a thrush type not a black-bird???
