Partial albino blackbird.
Ring ouzel are very wary birds you would almost never be seen around human habitation.

I agree with Traonach 100%....It's quite common among Blackbirds & Crows to show white patching or a total leucistic condition..

Here's Spottie, the Blackbird at ECNR..

Here's Pinkie (one of twins), the Rook at Lough Boors Parklands..
