I took this photo on September 3rd 2022. At Samphire Hoe, Kent UK.

The center photo shows,this bird was only letting me get as close as 30 yards.

It was darting about catching fly.This was the only time it came out of the Buddleia bush.

It is not a Redstart.

Thank you for looking.

    Hi-

    I've just had a good nights sleep and enlarged all the pics and the undertail on the last one looks dark / could be shadow-
    The primary tips are also just visible with pale tips and the bill is small and snappy:
    The legs are short and skinny and not very chat-like;
    I agree about the pale area on the uppertail and I think I see pale wing edgings

    I agree RB Fly seems the best option

    :)
