Twite for me; they get a dark bill in the summer, just something us lowlanders aren't used to seeing :t:. The dark streaking fits Twite much better. Twite is also much the commoner of the two on Skye.Linnet (also young? I fail to see a yellow bill for Twite)
No problem for a well-marked breeding plumage bird; Greenshank is a reasonably common breeding species on Skye, so a very plausible sighting too.nobody thinking that greenshank looks too dark on undertside? maybe a young redshank? but then where is the white trailing edge?

Are Stonechat and/or Whinchat also present on Skye? I mean, I don't get a twite or linnet feel at all on this bird...
