Observation details
This bird has been reidentified as a first summer male by Mick O’Clery with some great photos, but I’ll leave my logic here in brackets as it was my own thoughts at the time, even if it is no longer the case of my answer being correct, my workings wernt bad. (Probably Female given the extent of white mask, and grey/brown colouring on the mantle. Overall dullish colouring, with less chestnut on crown and nape than would be expected for male.) Cracking individual, found by Sean Culhane. Ssp.Senator, the ssp.badius was ruled out given the prominent white patch visible on the wing in flight and at rest. Photo to follow.
