I get a feeling I should really know what this bird is, I had thought it was a Northern Mockingbird at first but it's brown and the bloody remains (although it could be berry juice) at the side of it's mouth keep throwing me off. Thanks!

looks like a mockingbird to me. It always helps to know where and when the photo was taken.

Ah, yes that would help. It was taken in NY on LI at Nickerson Beach. It does look like a mockingbird doesn't it!

Northern Mockingbird.
I'd suggest that the "bloody" remains are berry juice - mockingbirds and other fruit eaters love mulberries (and you'd be wise to not park under a mulberry tree).
