Marta, I think the bright patch is just a single ray of sunshine which just caught the forehead and bill after finding a tiny gap in the foliage!

Interesting! I had never seen a blackbird with white in the forehead! Could that be that he has stained his feathers with something or would it be a mutation instead?
