Can someone help with the identification of this small bird taken in central France this evening. The white patch on the throat is confusing me.

Thanks Mike.

another picture of the same bird if it helps, I did think a Redstart at first but the white throat did not look correct

Redstart indeed

Redstart. In the field it will be quivering its tail.

Well your first instinct was correct,
ive seen a few Redstarts recently with pale-ish throats
