UK Whitethroat (1 Viewer)

Trying to improve my ID skills I took this picture Yesterday in a local marsh reserve on the Isle of Wight UK. I think (hope) it is a Whitethroat based on white throat, two tone beak, brownish eye with white ring , blue grey head and pale underside plus orange-brown legs. Please help me out here !K Whitethroat.jpg
 
Yes, you are right, extensive pale orange base to bill and exact shape of a full eye-ring is another feature against Lesser Whitethroat. But you have mentioned the features of a Common WT allready.
