Scratching my head with this one - West coast of Scotland (3 Viewers)

When I noticed this bird, I'd thought it was a pipit or a thrush as I'd seen both that day already, but after examining these photos, I'm stumped!

The photos were taken very near Oban, right on the coast.

Sorry for the bad quality, both are zoomed in from a fair distance,:

Hi, that's a male Wheatear, one of the spring migrants.
