Found this very late LW at 9am this morning, initially atop the garden conifer.
Although the lighting was less than optimum, I was struck by it’s “almost” dusky upperparts and in particular the “brown” tints to the crown and nape.
I believe this to be a feature of “Eastern” Lesser Whitethroat, although as a “stand alone,” it probably would require good images of the outer tail feathers for further meaningful support?
Unless of course the criteria has changed, in the interim I’ll be making sure that the fatball feeder doesn’t ever run out.
Cheers
