Sounds like you had a good day!
One thing, that's not a female Black Redstart - they don't show double wingbars. I'd say more likely a female Blue-capped

Def a female Blue-capped, black tail with chestnut rump is another good id feature.

Here's a typical female Black - notice the amount of reddish in the tail and the lack of obvious wingbars:
