ID help - Stonechat or whinchat? New Forest, UK. 08-23 (1 Viewer)

Hello,

yes its a Stonechat for me too. Please note
  • the right triangular and whitish patch in the wing (more of a wingbar on the tips of the greater coverts and normally with a colozr hue in Whincat)
  • supercilium doesnt reach on the forehead
  • many (at least) Whinchat have a paler back with more spotting or streaks
Thank you for the tips!
