Identify this Juvenile Stonechat?

Juvenile Stonechat?

I took this photo in the New Forest this morning. There were a lot of Stonechats around, and I thought this was a juvenile one? Maybe a bit early for a juvenile?

I would say a female stonechat...but wait for others ;-)

adult female stonechat for me too as any early juveniles would look a bit more like a young robin and a bit more speckly. Lovely photo Philip.
