Can't be Blackbird: not black enough for male or brown enough for
female.
Can't be Ring OUzel: wrong colour and no ring.
Can't be Redwing: no sign of red.
Can't be Song or Mistle Thrush: beak is too orange.
Fieldfare: orange beak, grey head, dark tail and a hint of grey on the
back.
Hard to tell from the photos but I can't see how it can be anything
other than fieldfare.
