hi luka,

i see a 1cy micha here, albeit a strong marked one, in tail, underparts- and head striation. it has an abnormal coloured and shaped bill like many youngsters but the contrasting tail band, tapering at the corners together with darker striation concentrated around eye and 2nd gen. coverts leave little doubt about its identity, imo.

all the best and happy new year!
