Default Hen Blackbird?

Dave Hill writes
I was over at a neighbours this afternoon and we were watching a bird
from his kitchen window as it cleared some bread crumbs.
The size of a blackbird, Dun coloured. with so sign of any speckeling.
It had a lighter bib.
Legs and beak matched the body colour.
It was being ignored by a couple of Male blackbirds who were also
feeding.
Any ideas?

Sounds 99.9/% like Ms Blackbird w/out her "pzazz magnet". There are all
kinds of blackbird variations out there but the species is still the
same. May I suggest you consider posting this to uk.rec.birdwatching
where a cadre of well informed avian specialists should rush to express
equally well informed opinions :-)))
