Greenland (Northern) Wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe leucorhoa)

Shropshire Hills AONB, UK.
Adult female 'Greenland' Wheatear.I found they differ from the nominate by the lack of warmer brown tones on the upper parts, additionally structurally wider across the lower belly which is more obvious than size when seen in isolation.

Canon EOS 1D Mark IV
1/800s f/7.1 at 700.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
