dimi 1/5 --> there is a second no. 4 (some marked it with 4b)
a rock thrush with such a long tail? and with white on upper tail? (white in rock thrush is on lower back) and with such light underparts? - they're heavier mottled. whole structure isn't RT.

Hmm I tried to id it without seeing the whole bird..Anyways a Wheatear for sure.But what species.

I vote Barred Warbler for number 4b)

dimi no improvement.
a book about the palearctic wheatears came out this year (by PANOV), just i don't have to spare so much for a wheatear-book only.

[lou salomon]

all but this one have been id-ed yet.

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

1 Long-toed Stint
2 Great Snipe
3 Serin
4 Fieldfare
5 Red-flanked Bluetail (doesn't look much like one, but there may be a reason for cropping the tail ...)

 

[lou salomon]

4/5 ...and the reason is...?

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

Maybe because it's red?
Redstart

But I'm off now, started making strange guesses!

 

[Ghostly Vision]

Redstart was my first thought but it can't be as I only got the Serin correct.

So, Red-flanked Bluetail it is.

Here are the answers then

1 Long-toed stint
2 Can't be Great snipe. Go back to Nutcracker?
3 Serin
4 Fieldfare
5 RFB

[Jurij Hanžel]

Well, I guess 5 is a kind of a Redstart.
Maybe Black? OK, it's too rufous on the breast for a gibraltariensis female, but who knows what females of other ssp. look like ...

 

[lou salomon]

now what is this red ball bird?

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

Moussier's

 

[lou salomon]

[Jurij Hanžel]
