Both....the white outer-tail margins almost extend to the tip, with black edging to the most outer feathers. On Oeananthe oeananthe the black is continuous across the tail?

I'm thinking BE Wheatear too.
If it was under approx 800m asl I would imagine it couldn't be a Northern as this bird is barely fledged and will be close to where it was born. N. Wheatears don't breed at low altitudes in Greece I'm imagining - here in Portugal they only breed above 800m ish.

sicklebill
well-known Cretaceous relic
Very dark wings too suggest Black-eared to me
Thanks to all of you.
and O.h here near Thessaloniki, where I live, can be found at lower altitude too. For example where this photos was taken,at alt. ~350m, about in 800m far, at the same altitude they breed both.
So only from the pattern we could recognize which sp. is that juvs.
Thanks again, I agree with O.h.
