Whilst out walking this afternoon in Scotland we came across this bird foraging around in the undergrowth in the woods, probably about the size of a blackbird, any ideas?

Its a leucistic blackbird. A normal blackbird with white feathers. The plumage lacks melanin which normally gives it the colour.

Most likely a Blackbird, in fact a leucistic version
