I'm thinking this is a Pale phase individual?

I don't know yet, where or when they were taken, thinking possibly NE England recently, but waiting to hear back from the OP.

We see so few of pictures of this species come into the Gallery, could anyone say if either of these pictures would make a better Opus image than the other, ID wise, please. I've no experience of them at all.
