Hello
Can't put a name on this bird observed in Loire atlantique mid-June. It seems to me that it is not a European bird.
Any idea ?
Thank you.

I'd guess might be a dunnock with lots of whitish feathers. But I'd rather see more photos if you have any?

Aberrant dunnock seems a good call.

A second photo.
I had thought of a aberrant dunnock, but the beak seemed to me to exclude it.
I believe that we will have to stick to this solution.
Thank you all.

It's a leucistic Dunnock. Oddly plumaged birds are not that unusual, we have had a number over the years stretching back to to the mid 60's.

Thank you all.
So I'm left with an aberrant Dunnock.
