Hello.
Photo from today in Murcia region.
I guess is a Stonechat because of the dark throat but the broad supercilium is... weird?!

Hello,
I agree with you on both points: its a Stonechat with an unusual supercilium (but within variation)

I've seen quite a few female stonechats down here in Southern Portugal with quite strong superciliums. Sometimes enough to get a Whinchat feel at first sight. I think it may be an Iberian thing?

For example:-

last passerines ID in Algarve, Portugal

This is the last batch (I promise) from great trip to Algarve. Thanks all for the help in the last days, I believe I improved a lot with your help. 1- Strange-looking female stonechat? 2- Dunnock, right? 3- Should be easy but I'm puzzled by this one 4- Meadow Pipit with a crest? Thanks Luis
