Taken early October, near the Arcachon Bay, France.

At first I thought it could be a juvenile European Robin (mostly because I took a picture of an adult at the same place 1 hour later), but looking into the only book about birds of Europe that I have, I am not sure. I would have expected more brown spots on the chest.

To me it looks like a juvenile Wheatear.

I'd go with Wheatear too. It has that elongated Bluebird look and the color is right.

Wow. I did not even consider this one as an option :Whoa!:

It definitely looks like it. Another specie to add to the list!


Thank you both.
