Difficult pictures as no details visible but I'd say fulvescens GSE

Typical Lesser Spot for me.

my feeling is that it is much lighter on body and coverts than any LSE I have ever seen.
Below a photoshopped version and here a fulvescens with dark head

Useage of the term 'fulvescens' here, is questionably incorrect since it refers to the yellowish or, more rare, brown juvenile plumages. The plumage in this particular case is, albeit mostly pale but still this colour is found in normal black juveniles.

My idea was fulvescens because of the all tawny coverts, many GSE have very light body plumage indeed but normal wings, maybe I am wrong though
