Redstart? Gigrin Farm Wales (1 Viewer)

I saw this bird at Gigrin Farm, Mid Wales on Saturday, I apologise for the quality of the photographs but the bird was a long way off and I have had to crop the images severely. I think it is a Redstart but can anyone tell me if it is of the Black or Common variety.

Hi,
Male common for me. Pic 3 showing the lighter crown that signifies the common redstart. Also, slate grey back also leads to male common
Cheers,
Jono
 
Thanks for your help, I suspected it would be a Common. The stars of the show were the Kites, there must have been at least 30 birds present.
