Juvenile Song Thrush? (1 Viewer)

I have only seen a few baby Song Thrushes. I assumed this was one, but there is something odd about it. Could it be a very spotty Blackbird?

It's a juvenile Blackbird, an easy mistake to make due to the spotted breast.

Yes, but it's the spottiest one I've seen, although the tail and wings give it away as Blackbird I guess. It'll teach me to pay more attention to the bird when I take the picture.

Definite Blackbird - i`ve lost count of how many times my Grandparents or Uncles mistakenly point out a young Blackie to me claiming Thrush.
I had the good fortune of a close encounter with a pair of Mistle Thrush and their four young in my local park yesterday. Hopefully i`ll get them on my garden list soon.

Yes, thanks.
