Ed, thanks a lot for your help. In fact your suggestion opened my eyes to the fact that it could be a stonechat juvenile. Otherwise I was in the dark. Thanks again for your valuable help.
Thanks, When I was searching for the probable species of stonechat around the area, I found out that the common stonechat is seen here so I Id'ed it as common stonechat. The book that I referred to mentioned common stonechat. Actually the photographs of common stonechat and the Siberian stonechat are the same except for the fact that the Siberian ones are sleeker as compared to the common variety.
This a juvenile stonechat, you can see how his feathers are a little scruffy here and there. Give him time and he will be as beautiful as his parents! I suggested the Siberian stonechat based on the location you spotted it. Lovely pictures!
