Just looking through some old holiday pics and found this.

Is it a Spotted Flycatcher please?

Taken in Mallorca, May 2009.



Thanks,

Le plus probable est Muscicapa tyrrhenica balearica

On the barred body, I would guess female Blue Rock Thrush

Looks like Mediterranean Flycatcher to me.

agree with valery; e.g. bill shape totally wrong for rock thrush.

Thank you all for your input and links!

It's a new species for me, and one I hope to catch up with and learn a little more when I'm back on holiday in Mallorca next month
