Redstart?

Please help?.... again :-)
Is this a juvenile Redstart?

Thanks for the previous ID's with my Willow Warbler and Woodlark
Habitat
Heathland
Location
Thursley Surrey
Date taken
5 July 2008
Equipment used
400D Canon 100-400IS
Yep, that's a juv, as shown by the scaly feathers. Looks like a pretty advanced one, it's got a fully grown tail. The ones I've been looking at - not far from Thursley on the military land near Pirbright - have only just come out and are virtually tailless. The pair I've been photographing haven't even fledged their young yet!
