    Yes Stefan, looks like an immature bird with the heavily streaked breast. When was the image made? It seems early to have juveniles out already in Sweden! Year 2 birds (fledged in 2008) should have lost the streaks by now in a complete body moult.

    PS you have a small sensor dust spot to the left of the bird.
