牠在草地上跳來跳去，又飛上矮樹（約兩米高）上，像是烏鶇，但是肥一點（比較 厚身）和長一點，然而卻頗敏捷。不知是否烏鶇呢？

I guess it is female Common Blackbird. Size can be very difficult to assess accurately.

Thanks for the guess. Sorry, I do not have reference book on hand right now. But how can female be identified?
From a UK site, I can only conclude that the male is quite black in colour and female is brownish in colour. Is this the keypoint in identifying the sex? BTW, this bird is not too brownish to me.

This following photo is a Male Common Blackbird. This bird is often described as having a black colour. The female is often described as brownish - meaning that it is still basically black but tinted lightly to brown colour.
