going a little crazy with some backyard visitors for the past month or so:  I'll describe them as best as I can:  maybe a little smaller than a robin, a ground-feeder (loves cherries), light brown back and wings, breast is black with white spots with separated by brown down the middle, black eyes, black beak, and from the bird book the head and beak sort of resemble a thrush;  this apparently is a juvenile or a male, since there are also some without the white spots on the breast.  Arrived in a flock of a dozen or so when the cherries were out, but today I saw one pair in the bath fighting with the robins.  I have one bad picture of them.    Any assistance would be appreciated!          I'm located in Agincourt

Could you post the photo?

My first guess is starling.

Yes- you're right- after doing a search on Starling juveniles, I found one that matched.   It's embarassing- I've just never taken notice of a starling at that age before.   Thanks for the help and sorry for the bother
