That's a distinct possibility, though it might not be the bird I saw
in flight unless the silvery feathers edging its wings would show as

this morning. This one was alone and close to the house, which
doesn't seem to be descriptive of the ring ouzel. Otoh, we are close
to Dartmoor which it is said to like! To save effort and duplication
I've x-posted this to uk.rec.birdwatching.

Pied Flycatcher?

I know sizes are tricky, but surely that is quite a bit smaller than a
blackbird? (Not that I've looked up the numbers.)
