This bird is a very dark brown all over, with a dark brown beak and around the size of a blackbird. I thought from researching other such descriptions in the forums that it might be a female blackbird but... I've heard her sing and it was very extravagant... I read that the female blackbird's song is very subdued? Can anyone help identify?
Looks like a blackbird to me, Goldee. Males that have migrated here for the winter often have dark beaks, if that is what is causing confusion
It is a blackbird.
