Not the best of pictures but this blackbird had a pure white collar

Ring Ouzel perhaps?

It looks like leucism to me, seen it in corvids quite often but Blackbirds may have the condition too?

Seen it in crows many times Chris but never a blackbird, bet he's a right hit with the girlies

Seen several blackbirds with white on them over the years.

Ive seen Ring Ouzels that looked like that.

By now it should have established a territory so if your around at dusk you could listen to it sing to be certain.

We have a 'pied' blacky turns up around our garden at this time every year. It's been an excellent late winter for seeing stuff at the garden feeders due to the prolonged cold.
