It does look like it could be a member of the thrush family, but not one I'm familiar with. Maybe a NZ variety, or one unique to Middle Earth. Could we see the same or similar bird speaking to Bard? It wouldn't surprise me. Edit: bit of research, it looks very similar to an american robin (robins are thrush-family).
A Far Dragon is the best kind...

Beak looks too small for a finch,

Agreed and it's probably not an identifiable bird anyway.
