    What species is this? Photographed on the South coast of England in grassland/bushes along the coastal cliffs with a low sun near the end of the day.
    My first impression was some sort of flycatcher, but I can't match the colors and patterns with the species I know.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    It has a Stonechat kinda feel to it. Obviously not in breeding colours, but perhaps that is what it is....

    Thanks Daniel, that would fit the habitat and behaviour. I never realized that they have different plumage in the breeding season. This was taken at the end of July.
