Nominate subspecies of European Stonechat Saxicola rubicola rubicola - can be quite bright with a lot of white patches, but rump still streaky (thus, not Siberian S. maurus).

Many thanks indeed, how about Saxicola dacotiae?

That’s the species from the Canary Isles Pavel, I don’t imagine it’s ever been recorded on mainland Europe.

Can be excluded as it has a dark rump, unlike your bird :t:
And also of course, non-migratory and several thousand km away!

Pavel,
S. dacotiae is impossible in Bulgaria, but for fun you can compare here with 7 of my photos of the species if you wish : https://valeryschollaert.wordpress.com/tarier-des-canaries-saxicola-dacotiae/
