Who's a Juvenile Blackbird?
The juveniles are reddish-brown with paler spotting that is similar to that of the adult female but more spotted and redder. After the juvenile female moults, late summer to autumn, she is indistinguishable from an older female.
However, while the juvenile male moults his wing feathers will remain brown, also the eye ring and bill will be a "dirty" yellow, and it will be another year before his plumage is entirely black, and his eye ring and bill are pure orange-yellow.
