Is this a Siberian Stonechat? NO - thanks Brian S - Sibe would have a full white throat. And if rump were visible it would be unstreaked orange in Sibe.

Pictures too small for me to tell, but Sib shows a pale unstreaked rump. Could you email me the photos.
The Stonechat complex is very tricky even with excellent photos ,,the rump id seems to be very important to get a photo of and on Siberian black inner wing coverts in the male...I have not seen anything on throat colour but it all helps..We are more likely to get one of the Continental ones Rubicola but even these are very rare..
