Bird ID Please

[Doofus]

Because I'm a bit stumped

[breamster]

Blackbird with a colour mutation I think. I'm no expert though.

[Boosted LS1]

Agreed. I've seen this sort of blackbird before. Not quite the same but here's one that's all mixed up.

Oh. I thought I was going to be famous.

[Mabbs9]

I'd go for leucistic blackbird too.

[bigandclever]

I think it’s a blackbird with leucism.

It's a cracking photograph.

I've just googled that, fascinating information to be read.

It's zoomed in there, so lost some definition. Given it was ten feet up in a tree, and well enough camouflaged that I couldn't see it on my phone screen, I was happy enough.

Also referred to as 'Piebald'.

It's not going to win him a place in 'the birds, they mock me' thread, over on the photography sub-forum, but it's a definite improvement on some of the blurred splodges we get asked to identify on here, sometimes!

Im glad Ive seen this, as we have a youngster from this year thats obviously got this, and I awlays wondered what was going on.

[Lotobear]

I spotted this quite striking and attractive bird on a roof the other week.

I'm thinking wagtail but is it a grey or a yellow version and male, or female?

[Turn7]

Female Yellow Wagtail I reckon.

[Lotobear]

That was my view based on a Google search but the tail looks really long on this one?

[bigandclever]

Grey wagtail for me. They have a longer tail than the yellow. And pink legs
