I was out with Howard King this morning and we spotted this wheatear. Looking in our field guides we could not come up with a definitive ID any help will be appreciated.

Looks like a Northern Wheatear to me as well. It would be nice to see the mantle just to be 100% sure. Also looks to have interestingly rusty toned undertail coverts, but as nothing else matches Mourning Wheatear at all, it must be a touch of staining.
