Whinchat or Stonechat? (1 Viewer)

I think this is a Whinchat but the supercilium looks a bit indistinct compared to most pictures I've seen - can someone with more experience confirm ?

Sorry not a Whinchat but a female/first year male? Stonechat. Note the white in the wing & forming an oval & the lack of a very distinct eye stripe & broad supercillium. Also Whinchat should have white upper tail sides but this is sometimes difficult to see on a closed tail, like Wheatears.
