Nuthatch? Wheatear? Something else?

Thanks for helping to identify this chap - seen at Loch Ardinning on moorland perched on a wall ... was expecting it to be a wheatear, but now wondering if it might be a nuthatch (or something else?)

As I said in your last thread it's a Wheatear.
Differences are head shape, body shape, black stripe thickness and length, beak length and shape, colour and marking on back of neck and back.
