This looks like it's most likely a robin, though it was kind of big for a robin, and the color is a little weird. Maybe it's molting, or some such. Anyway, it was perched right outside the window, and Her Majesty found it absolutely fascinating. So I took a picture.

Oh no…the day needed a few more hours.
...The reason people think that Robin Red Breast is a sign of spring is that we believe that robins fly south for the winter and north for the summer, so when we see them, it must be getting near summer.
Bluebird.
Excuse me, Blueboid.
Really?
It wasn't particularly blue. Its back was pretty much the grey-brown color I expect for a robin.
That's a female, which are slate-grey on the back with a more bluish tint to the wings. The males are the ones that are the brilliant blue.
Female I think. Maybe last year's chick just getting it's color. Shouldn't be bigger than a robin though, and that's a pretty strong eye-ring, so I might be wrong. rb
I thought robin at first because the eye ring appears broken in back of the eye, but with the white belly and shortish tail it's most likely a female Eastern Bluebird. Should be smaller than a robin, but it is puffed up in the cold. Hard to tell size without something to compare to.
