Juvenile Blackbird (was - Is this a thrush?)

Could someone ID the bird in this picture please? It looks like a thrush but seems to have very russet-coloured plumage. Like a ginger thrush :p Thanks!

Top two look like young Blackbirds and the bottom one is a Robin (?) or maybe I should have gone to Specsavers.

The guy on the right of the top photo and the guy in the bottom photo are the same bird. That's the one I'm not sure about.
