Yes, v intriguing - my partner saw it at same time, very distinctive the colouring along leading edge of underwings which was a solid, deep, rich red. In hindsight, didn’t look like it had been painted, and it was small/lean pigeon size (ie not a plump wood pigeon). Looking up the Redwing it looked too light and rust/orange , but did see one description which said the colouring can be ‘blood red’ and migration pattern checks out, so possibly. ...So distinctive, wish I could figure it out!
