From Jerry Moore: I'm attaching my best photo of it - a big crop. Note how brown the barring is on the bird's breast, in comparison with that on the top of its head.I can't help thinking it must be a young female (not an adult) but others may differ! At a distance - from the hilltop behind where everybody was watching the bird - with 10x40's, it appeared grey all over with a white face, as a result of the amount of barring.
Many thanks to Mike for guiding me to it.
