If it's singing it's male. Females just nag. Sexing by colour should
be easy given a moment's glance from any distance. Black (if you look
carefully there's a blue tint) is male and brownish is female. The
males chirp merrily but it's the females that get territorial.

Its definitely a male blackbird, he is black and chirps his
chorus across the roof tops.
