There is a brown mutation of the jay, it could be this.

I know it's a Jay mate, I put it up for the benefit of the lad who was on about brown maggies.

I too have seen a brown magpie although i'd probably say it was lighter than brown, more of a cinnamon colour.

Anyone ever seen them? Theres loads near me, someone told its because there young, and will turn black as the grow older - i don't believe that, there the same size as normal?

up near my dads theres a brown crow,well its more of a dirty white someone told me its a cinnamon crow its survived for about 5 year now i see it fairly regular,it feeds with all the other black crows so hopefully will breed a few more,so i dnt see why you wouldnt get the odd brown maggie too.
