To clarify, the bird is a Common Redstart, not a Black. Note the rather pale belly with warn color tones.

Yep, have to agree, though it is remarkably grey for a Common . . .

Thanks for the additional comments. I initially looked up the bird on the rspb website and the fact that this specimen appeared so grey it didn't give me the confidence to correctly id her as a redstart. :t:
