Bird I.d. please u.k. (1 Viewer)

[Chris.o.]

We have had four birds catching flies all day,up on my next door neighbours ridge tiles ,here in north Cornwall.
About the size of a small starling ,very sleek,long legs and a fly eaters beak.
Rusty coloured breast going down to a creamy /pale yellow.
The tail has black which gives way to white near the body.
I think there might be an eye stripe but at distance difficult to see.
These birds have been catching flies by ambush all day so the nearest I could find was a red breasted flycatcher which I think maybe a bit small so settled on Whinchat possibly.?
As a newcomer I would be thankfully for your opinions.

Can you get a photo please?

 

[Chris.o.]

Sorry,would love to get a photo but I cannot get close enough to make if usable,I have tried .
Something else I noticed is when the Bird go after a fly and I then look at it from below in flight the tail is wedge shaped.

Wheatears perhaps?

 

[Chris.o.]

I have seen Wheatears on the cliffs here and although similar I don't think they are but a possibility perhaps, many thanks for your suggestion.
These four birds have been on the roof ridges from first thing this morning until just before the light faded and all this time they were catching flies and they seemed to be experts at it.

Having now looked in another book I think you are right Stevethehydra,Wheatears it is then.
All four birds seem to be female and are different plumage to the males that I normally see on the cliffs.Many thanks for your help.
