Identify this bird

[Arnd]

Can someone please identify this bird seen today in Monmouth, South Wales.
Approximately the size of a blackbird.
I tried google but unable to find anything.

I’d say it is a black bird with unusual marking

I think it’s a blackbird with partial albinism.

It’s a blackbird with leucism.

Seen crows with this but never a blackbird!

Crows up here in Leeds that don't have partial albinism seems to be rarer than those that do these days!

I've seen crows, blackbirds and very rarely sparrows too like this! Sparrows go more an overall really pale cream colour.

I've seen a blackbird with dark brown markings on it, almost thrush like.

I think that might be a juvenile. Our male blackbird brought two youngsters to the feeding station today to show them where to get a free meal and a bath. They both were brown at the front end, but were getting their black adult plumage from the tail end first.

Definitely a blackbird, we've a couple like that in our garden.

One of the blackbirds I posted about above passed by yesterday, without either dad or his brother. Perhaps he is just starting to get about on his own now. Still seemed a bit dippy, though, as when I went out into the garden he simply looked at me for a while before thinking perhaps he'd better fly off in a panic.
