Help please! I'm not too good on heathland birds.
A Small (bit smaller than a sparrow) brownish bird on New Forest heathland, in flocks, with prominent white flanked tail feathers in flight.

Am I right in saying it is almost certainly a Whinchat?

Isn't it a bit late for Whinchats?If you've seen a chat it is prob. a Stone chat.But you it has white on its tail...Maybe a Bunting or some other small bird...
