Unknown bird from Poland (1 Viewer)

[JayFeatherPL]

North-eastern Poland, 8th of July, 2/3 pm, habitat: a meadow with a few trees (the birds were sitting on these trees) and over a road there was a forest. I think it's a juvenile of one species (or two?) on all the images. On the last photo (no. 3728), the unknown bird is sitting next to a puddle with a juvenile blackbird. I think it might be a spotted flycatcher, but I'm not so sure. I have more photos if needed, but I think I uploaded the most important ones.

Spotted Flycatcher?

 

[Southern Viking]

Yeah all Spotted Flycatchers (apart from the Blackbird) - some juvenile, some adult

 

[JayFeatherPL]

Ok, thanks. And is this bird also a spotted flycatcher?

 

[KenM]

Not a Spot fly, it’s a seed eater….one might want to speculate as to which one ?

Cheers

Bill shape (inside of lower mandible) shows last one is a bunting. Juvenile Yellowhammer would be my guess

Thanks for the answers! I also found this bird, next to the spotted flycatcher (they were on the same trees). Is this a lesser whitethroat?

It is

Yes, Lesser Whitethroat

Streaky forehead, very-long primaries.

Bill-shape rules that right out, as Ken indicates - also prominently-streaked underparts. Bill looks like a bunting's, as Viking says.

Is this a lesser whitethroat?

Dark ear-coverts, blackish legs, no rufous in wing.

Hello,

I agree with Southern Viking, Ken and Butty and all. Its a juvenile Yellowhammer for me too
If you brighten the image up, the right pattern of the median coverts for a juvenile Bunting (? with the teeth reaching the top of the feather) can be seen.
Its no Corn Bunting imo with that dark slender bill and the obvious white edges to the tail (with the caveats for worn feathers, but not new ones) and lack of an white eye-ring and all dark bill should eliminate Ortolan Bunting.

And I think the bold supercilium and large malar stripe of a Reed Bunting should be visible here, so it isnt that species imo.
