Could you please ID this Bird ? I spotted on the Clee Hills Shropshire

I'm sorry for quality but it was only a screenshot from video !

So any names of Birds to narrow down search...

I'm still learning my Birds outside my Garden Birds

Thank you |8)|

Is it a 1st year Female ? By any chance and that is why it is tricky for me to ID from books...?

Female certainly, no doubt someone who knows this species better will advise on age.

Thank you Dave... I must learn both Female, Male and Juvenile, so it is trickier IDing Birds than I thought

Very high density of breeding Stonechats on Clee a mate does census work in the area.

Brilliant ! I thought I could see the same kind of Birds but they were flying away from me so much I was not sure ?

My very 1st Stonechat ! I only know my Garden Birds on my many feeders...

Thank you
