Hi Everyone! :D
It is been awhile, and I hope everyone is well.
I need some clarity on Bird ID .
Most kindly Appreciated!

Place: Asari Dam, Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan
Date: Mar 29, 2023
Time: 1 PM
Weather: Cloudy, 13C, 40% humidity

I will add 2 sets , as I am not sure if we are talking about the same or 2 different birds.
Thanks again for any help!
Jeff :)

Thanks Andrew!
Both sets above are Stonechat, correct?
It has been a few seasons since I was out in the area where i usually find them, so they looked familiar,
but I couldn't put me finger on it. Between the juveniles and the females, variations, tho the adult males are clear for sure.
I am so used to the old title "Siberian Stonechat", haha. ebird's got it pegged to Amur. Thanks again Andrew! ;) (y)

Yes, all Stonechats. I think they're all females.
