CG or hybrid?

On 5-10-2010 late in the evening I spotted this bird at river Donau/Austria.
Structure looks well for CG, but: heavy brest-streaking, strongly barred undertail coverts, much white on tertials and the pattern of contrastless coverts have something of HG. Should be a 1cy in spite of pale bill...
Sorry for the quality of picture, it was quite dark, the flash light is to see on the wall, 90m away...
