I think that it is a female Common Redstart moving towards 1st year winter plumage ........ but I sometimes get them confused with similar female Black Redstarts!!

ISO 720 - D810 - cropped

A couple of very nice photos Bill. I prefer the second photo though, as it seem closer and shows more detail.

Nice shots, Bill.

No sun Wez . just consistent what I call ISO 800 light ....... quite good for photography ......... but it has turned cold here ..... 37C a week ago 17C today ...... I get the impression that a few bird are thinking about moving south

The first and last are by far the best shots Bill but that's my preference for clean backgrounds

Thanks Stan

my favourites would be the first and the third images

I'm trying to take a few more "pictorial" shots this week, rather than my usual "Bird on a Stick" close up specimens as I have now got thousands of these
 
Nice shots, still one bird I have yet to manage to get any decent shots of, but its fun trying.

Tim.
